Request Properties Display Template

aravagg

Hi Experts,

I've extended ShoppingCartItem and PersonWantsOrg with a column which is a foreign key to the UNSAccountB table. Next, I assigned this to a request property, and as expected, when the user selects this it loads a list of UNSAccountB to be selected

My question is if its possible to change the format of what is displayed to the end user? I want to display the UNSAccountB in a particular format. I know I can do this if I change the Display template on the UNSAccountB table itself, but then that is a global change and it ends up changing the display everywhere (even in object browser).

I was wondering if its somehow possible to apply a display template just on this foreign key column instead of changing the display template on UNSAccountB itself so that only when viewied in the IT shop should hte UNSAccountB display change.

Thanks

    quickest way it is to create a new view from UNSAccountB  formated in the way you want.

    any other modifications would take much more time

    Thanks Mekindad

    I created a simple view from UNSAccountB as you suggested. I then tried to extend ShoppingCartItem and thought I'd be able to add a FK column pointing to this view but I can't do that - I can only point that to UNSAccountB (incidentally even UNSAccount doesn't show up which too is a view)

    If I point my FK to UNSAccountB then I'm back in the same position where I have to use the displaytemplate on UNSAccountB. Any idea how to overcome this?
