Is there a way to display the lookup values as dropdown instead of opening the lookup modal dialog? I also cannot type in and search in the current field. I am doing a page in portal to update the contact location.

    You could create a component or use a third part component. There are also some great posts on customizing multi-select in D365. The same techniques would work for DV.

     

    update: I thought you were using a multi-select field. Please ignore.

    Hi @cabrose,

     It could be done by changing the of the filed in Form Metadata.

    As suggested by NatGeo using the Form's Metadata would be the usual way - just be aware that it does not work for related entities filtering (i.e. second lookup filters selectable results based on first lookup).

    I have Country Lookup column but it is not showing in Attribute logical name when trying to add new basic form metadata.

    I added a custom lookup column named as Country related to Country entity table.

    I was able to make it a dropdown by your suggestion above but now the problem is the values that will be displayed in the State/Province does not filtered anymore by the selection of COuntry.
