Getting below error

Hi @NaveenKumarSN ,

this is because : The Contextual Search has been configured on the particular table where the error occurs, but the Search Field configured in the Contextual Search is not displayed in the form.

For example, if the error occurs in the incident table, edit the Form Layout and review all the sections of the form, the Contextual Search Results field should exist in one of the form sections.

Then navigate to Contextual Search >> Table configuration, a record for the specific table should exist (for example incident), check the fields listed in the Search Fields Related List (TAB).

The listed field is the one displayed in the error (for example short_description) and is not displayed in the form. This causes the error.

now, Add the field to the form,

Or, add/change the Search field to one that is displayed in the form and set that field as the default one under the Search Field.
Or, evaluate if the Search Context should be configured in the particular table. It can be de-activated.

Hi @NaveenKumarSN ,

Can you try to go to the dictionary (sys_dictionary.list) from the application navigatior, and search for short_description on the task table:

In there under access control, try to search for "incident" in the name as shown below:

Furthermore, please also search the dictionary override as shown below for the incident table:

Go  though to see if there is any issues.
