    Note:
    • The Reference Qualifier and glide_list attribute applies to releases from Helsinki onward only. The attribute does not apply to Geneva.
    • You can set a value for this variable using the g_form.setValue() function in a catalog client script.
    • When the glide_list attribute is not true, you can only set the value that is visible in the Available list using the g_form.setValue() function. This functionality is not applicable when the setValue() function is called onLoad.
    • Table with large data causes performance issues when loading the page. Use reference qualifiers to reduce data or use the glide_list attribute.
    • The values in the referenced table do not appear if the user is not logged in.
    • The list collector displays a maximum of 100 items in a list. After moving items to the Selected list, you can click Run Filter to refresh the Available list. This action will add more available items to the list, to a maximum of 100 items.
