I have a solution that does appointment scheduling.
I have a lookup field that shows a list of suppliers to select to associate with the appointment.
The current requirement however is they want to not show the list of suppliers. The ask is to have a string field for free form typing that matches back to the lookup and populates the lookup field.
It can't just be a string field because we need consistency with reporting and people may abbreviate or mistype.
How can I provide the user the desired supplier without rendering the supplier list?
Any suggests on a possible solution?
