Display name is not showing in the reference field

Hi Community,

 

I have a field which is a reference field. I want to show only specific group members in the reference field for a catalog item.

 

I am using sys_user_grmember table for this and added simple reference qualifiers as user.active is true, group is xyz but still its showing sys id in the look up list of that field. I want to show the display name of the users which belongs to this group in this field.

 

Thanks,

Poorva Bhawsar

Hi @Poorva Bhawsar,

 

The display check box is false for all the columns of Group membership [sys_user_grmember] table. Hence, it is showing sys_id.

Make the display check box for your required field (User). It is how the user names as display value.

 

Thanks,
