 Description   

When creating a custom field, FOLIO creates a reference ID for that field based off of the provided field name.

It would be really helpful to implementers if the reference ID could be displayed in the user interface - it would help with understanding the behavior of the underlying data.

Example:
Creating a multi-select custom field named "Student Academic Program" like this:

results in a custom field with a refId of "studentAcademicProgram", as seen here using developer tools to view the underlying data.

That value is what we want to display somewhere on this view, in a read-only format (since it cannot be changed once the field is created.)

Questions to be answered:

  1. Is it sufficient to display the refId in the second field (once the custom field has been created), or do we need to somehow provide feedback in the creation process as to what the refId would be?

Theodor Tolstoy (One-Group.se) here is the feature for adding refId that I started, please feel free to add more / modify what I wrote.

Khalilah Gambrell I went ahead and put Spitfire on as the dev team, but if that's wrong, let me know (or feel free to just change it obviously.)

Thank you Erin Nettifee . Looks good! My answer to your first question is that this is sufficient.

Gotcha Theodor Tolstoy (One-Group.se) - I'll label this as ui-only then, since all we're doing is exposing a field in the UI that already exists in the data.
