Can I have more than three fields displayed in a default record picker?

I have an app which holds two tables with a relationship. One of the fields which is pulled through in my child table is a reference proxy from the parent table. 

So the user completes a form then picks the associated record from a drop-down and that data forms part of the record.

I can pick three fields to display for the user to select the right record. Three fields isn't really enough for them to identify the right record though. I can see under Advanced Table Settings there is an option to build custom data rule... not sure if this might be my solution...

  • np,
    You can make a report to use to drive the drop down list, so any columns, filters and dirt. Then set the FIRM properties fir that drop down field to use that report.

    Alternatively, you can make formula field(s) to concatenate serval fields together and change your record picker fields to use them instead of just single fields.
