SharePoint Lookup Column - sharepoint

When I have a lookup column in a Document Information Panel (DIP), and I select an item, it is displaying the List Item ID instead of the text of the selected.
Are there anyway I can get the name and not the ID of the item that is looked up to?
It is obvious that I have selected the correct column when setting up the lookup field, but it defaults to the ID in a Word document's DIP panel.

Make sure to select the right column for lookup in the "Additional Column Settings" for a Lookup field type.

PowerApps LookUp of a Person or Group type from Sharepoint List

I have a field that is a combobox filled with names that is auto-populated(defaultselectedItems) with the name of the user of the PowerApp using Office365User.MyProfileV2().displayName. This name can be found in a sharepoint list I can access through a lookup function, my goal is to lookup the name of the value(which is a type person or group) and find the corresponding title value and set it to the defaultSelectedItems of another combobox, if found, and if not it should just be a blank value. My most likely problem is with the syntax, but I have tried other sources to look for a correction with no success. Any help would be appreciated!
I was able to reference a combobox people picker and grab their Title with the below setup:
Combobox is a People Picker. If you have this already set up it can be skipped:
Item = Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:ComboBox.SearchText,top:10})
The next one can be a text input or label to reference:
Text = ComboBox.Selected.JobTitle

Out of all the required columns in a Sharepoint list, why does only the "Title" column have a required asterisk(*) next to it in the Edit/New form?

I created an Equipment Log list on Sharepoint Online that has four required columns:
Last Name
First Name
Start Date
Item (renamed from the default Title)
when I want to Edit an item or add a New item, only the "Title" column is showing with an asterisk(*) next to it on the edit form.
When I leave the 3 required columns (except Title/Item) blank, a new record gets inserted into the list but the columns have pink colored boxes with "Required info" text.
When I leave Title blank on the Edit form and click Save, I get this validation message
"An entry is required or has an invalid value. Please correct and try again."
How come I do not get the same validation message for the other 3 required fields?
Thank you.
new item form with only the Title column with an asterisk
new record with missing 3 required columns
I could reproduce this when setting a column to a required column, the old items would show "Required info" if there's no value in this field. This is by design behavior, which reminds you that column is changed to a required column.
Besides, it's by default that the Title column is a required column when we create a list. You could change this in this way: go to list settings-> click the column Title, select no for "Require that this column contains information". Like this:

Netsuite custom field does not display data in search results

I'm new to Netsuite, so please bear with me. I have created a saved item search that is working fine with one exception; one of the result columns I have chosen is not displaying data in the returned rows. This is a custom field created by our old Netsuite Administrator and it does display data on an item record, just not in search results. I've done some searching and thought I found the problem when I read another post that said that "Global Search" and "Show In List" needed to be checked on the custom field. I did that, but the search results still do not display any data for that column.
The field is a custom item field of the type decimal number. Store value, show in list and global search is checked. The field is applied to inventory items, non-inventory items, kit/package and assembly/bill of materials. What am I missing? TIA
I suspect the field has field level access permissions. Go to the field definition and click the 'Access' tab. The 'Default Level or Searching/Reporting' should be at least 'Run'.
Global Search on a field makes it so if you enter a value in the Global Search bar that matches the field's value for an item then that item will be shown as a possible match. It has nothing to do with your issue. Neither does Show in List.

How to add field into search widget in adempiere

I want to add new field into search widget in adempiere. As an example my search widget already have name and description fields. In addition to that I want to add address_id field. I do not know how to do this. If anybody know how to do this? Please help me..
Let me see if I got you right.
You have a table, and when you hit the search button, the search window display "name" and "description" fields.
You want to add "address_id" as an additional search criteria.
As System Administrator, you need to go to "Table & Column", search for your table and then go to the "Column" tab and search the column "address_id". There you need to check the "Selection Column" mark.
HIH
Create column address_id in Your table and make Selection Column (check box) true.

Unwanted SharePoint context menu

I created a custom lookup field type which works fine. However, there is a context menu for every item in columns of this type.
I didn't do anything on purpose to add this context menu.
How to get rid of it?
If you go to View -> Modify this View, you can select from the fields you'd like to have visible in the default view. There should be several options for some fields, and the one you likely have by default will be something like medium city (linked to document with edit menu). Choose medium city on its own and you should be good to go!
I solved the problem.
The source list "Cities" had three columns - "Name of the city", "Name of the city (linked to item)" and "Name of the city (linked to item with edit menu)".
When I was creating the "medium city" column in the "Customers" list, I chose "Name of the city" from the drop-down list. I was positive it was the 1st column but it turned out it was the 3rd one.
I modified the code filling the drop-down list with data so it contains no linked to item columns and it's working fine now.
