Hide the chevron button to display lookup values when there are no values to be displayed

In Maximo Mobile, a number of fields have lookup values associated with them. These are accessed by clicking the chevron icon next to the actual field In order to improve user experience, it would be great if feasible to disable or hide the chevron button when there are no lookup values to be displayed That would save the user a few clicks from having to go into the lookup list only to see no values and click again to return to their main flow

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    I am sorry to inform you that our development team has evaluated the request and has determined that it would lead to performance issues. The enhancement would require to pre-load lookup data on a page to determine if the lookup is empty or not, potentially for multiple lookups at once.

    If you would like to be involved in the features of these new applications, or other Maximo modernization efforts at IBM, please email smithjor@us.ibm.com to become part of our sponsored user group, which is a program where you and people in your organization become active participants in the Maximo design process, working alongside our design teams to help us create great future experiences for real target users.
