Table domain: Need an easier way to define what column from the table is returned as the field value

Example:

I've created a table domain on the WORKTYPE table. The lookup is returning the value from WORKTYPE.WORKTYPEID field (since it's the tables' unique column).

But that's not the field/value I want. I want the value from WORKTYPE.WORKTYPE to be returned. But we don't have an OOB way to choose that field for returning a value.

There are clunky ways of doing it, like modifying MAXLOOKUPMAP (done in DB config) but that requires a server restart. So that's not a practical option.


We need an easy/OOB way to define what column from the table domain is returned as the field value.

    Thank you for the idea. We will try to solve this with a combination of UX improvements and our work with the OCP operator maturity model.
