reference field vs lookup select box

Hi experts,

we have variable on record producer which has to show a specific field (u_can) which is a string field from user table.

This can be achieved by look up select box but it is causing performance issue by loading very slowly.

So I have tried using reference field but unable to display and select the custom field (u_can).

How can we achieve this? How can we show and display the custom field on variable using reference?

TIA

@si21 

then do this

1) have a reference variable and onChange of that populate the custom field value i.e. u_can in another single line text variable

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi Ankur, thanks for reply. In the image below, this is a lookup select box table:user and field: u_can. But this loads almost after 90 seconds.

I want to display as below using reference field. How can I do this.
