Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Reference display field
'Reference display field'. This attribute on the dictionary entry of the reference field specifies which field from the referenced table (Location) to display in the form. Option A is wrong because 'Default value' sets a default value for the field, not the display. Option B is wrong because 'Reference qualifier' filters which records are available in the reference field. Option D is wrong because the 'Display' field on the Location table controls the default display of that table's records globally, but for a specific reference field, the 'Reference display field' overrides it.
