Hi everyone,
I've encountered a peculiar situation this morning. In one of our development instance, the lookup dropdown only shows one column from the lookup view.
Normally it will show 3 columns like so:
Any idea what might have caused this?
Thanks!

Hi everyone, thanks for the response.
I have checked your suggestions and there is no irregularity in the customization that might cause this. However, I accidentally found the fix.
In the form editor, if you open the lookup field properties, you can select the lookup view to be displayed by the lookup field.
What I did was I selected another default view, save, publish. After I did that, the lookup field shows 3 columns normally. I change back to the originally selected lookup view, save, and publish. Lo and behold, the lookup still shows 3 columns. This is the screenshot of the problematic instance after I applied that 'fix'.
It's all working as intended now.
Thank you for your responses guys, I really appreciate your time.
Hi Alvin,
Could you please check the view used for lookup as sometime we use custom view in lookup and then validate the columns of the views. Ideally first 3 columns of view used in lookup will be displayed for entity.
That looks strange!
few things you can try:
1. try to publish the customizations again and clear the browser cache and see again.
2. export this view from an environment where it is working and import to this environment and publish.
3. finally you can look into the customization xml of this view to see if in the xml these all columns are available.
Hi Goutam, Rawish, and Pravin.
Thank you for your responses.
I have checked the lookup view and the columns are still there.
I have also made sure that this is the lookup view used by the field.
In fact the 2 screenshots in my original question share the same customization. It's just the first one is on the upper layer instance where we make additional customization on top of the bottom's instance.
Any further ideas are appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi Alvin Budiman,
It looks like someone has removed remaining column in lookup view. Can you please check lookup view on production instance.
Hi Alvin,
Looks like someone has messed up with the lookup view of this unit entity.
navigate to settings > customizations > customize the system > Entity > unit entity > views > look for lookup view and add required columns again.
publish all your customizations and see if that works.
Hi ,
Please check lookup VIEW of the lookup entity how many columns are defined. You can add remove columns as per your needs by editing lookup view of the entity.
