Control content of the SELECTOR when referencing to other table

[LUCA_MANGIONE]

Hallo

I have created a field which is linked to another table and it all works well.

Question is can I control HOW MANY show up in the small pop-up table from which I am picking th records? By now I have a title + 4 fields for every record. Can I simply have a title and maybe 2 field showing more content ?

See below link with example:

Thanks

Hi @LUCA_MANGIONE - unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be a way to do this.

Feels like this would be a good product enhancement.

The TOPMOST view in the list of views for your Tasks table has the “Due Date” field first to the right of the “Name” field, then it has the “Completed” field to the right of that. When you click the + sign in the “Tasks” field in your Projects table to link a …

Which might help
