show vendor name on the item card

Steve_Contris

Is there an easy way to use the form field format attribute to make the vendor no. field display the chosen vendor's name rather than the underlying no.?

Currently, the only way to see the vendor name associated with the vendor no. chosen on the item card is to use the dropdown. It would be nice if I could simply "format" the data to show the name instead.

Why not just add a flowfield to the Item table and display it on the form? If you change the way it displays it will affect everything, not just the item card.

You can't. There is no 'display format' feature that shows a different field based on the value of another field. You're going to have to do a flowfield or program the form to show the name.
