How to change default value of options of link field

[shahid_khan021]

Hi,

would like to show other field instead of name in the link field of form or doctype

what i done so far is

var program = [
{“label”: “name”, “value”: “department”}]

cur_frm.set_df_property(“department”, “options”, “Program”);

but i get error

DocType [{“label”:“name”,“value”:“department”}] not found
The resource you are looking for is not available

what i want to do is show other data instead of name and id

please help me

i tried to do what i found in the below link

Display different field in link field value other than name as primary

For example: I changed the autoname function of the “Batch” DocType. So it isn’t the default batch_id. But my title_field is still the batch_id which can read something else than the name of the Batch. Now when linking with a “Link Field” to a doc of DocType “Batch” I get suggestions and all with the doc’s name in the database and not the title_field batch_id. [image] As seen in this screenshot on the left is the column for batch_id and on the right is the actual name in the database. […

thanks

var program = [ {“label”: “name”, “value”: “department”}]
cur_frm.set_df_property(“department”, “options”, “Program”);

Instead of Program in the options add doctype name

Go for:

GitHub - techmaxsolucoes/title_links: Frappe Hack: Links using related title,...
