Unchecked "Disable most recently used items for this field" not working for custom lookup field

Posted on by 160

Hello,

For one of my custom lookup fields, I unchecked the "Disable most recently used items for this field' to allow user to see their recently used records.  But it doesn't look to be working.  I'm still unable to see the recently used record history when I click the field.  It works for out of the box system fields, but not for custom fields.  Is this a limitation with custom lookup fields?  I'm currently on v9.1 on-premise.

Step 1, uncheck this field on my custom lookup field

Step 2, still not showing recent records when I click the icon

When I make this change to a out of the box system field, it works

    Hi,

    You can follow below steps to fix your issue -

    Create a new Solution -> Add your Entity Form which has lookup field added -> Export your solution as Unmanaged -> Extract Zip file ->Open Customization.xml in Notepad++ -> search your lookup field by schema name and then update the metdata property () and set the value to false

    <DisableMru>false</DisableMru>

    Hi,

    I tried to reproduce it but failed.

    It can work properly in custom lookup field.

    I'd like to know if the option is enabled before one of the records is selected or after that.

    Have you tried to clear the cache of the browser or just open it in another browser or in InPrivate mode?
