Displaying Value istead GUID DomInstanceFieldDescriptor

Hi community,

when looking into. e.g. People & Organizations LCA I can see the field values (e.g. for skills) are shown in a form instead of the UUID. This is more user-friendly.

When I try to do the same with a field of type DomInstanceFieldDescriptor only the UUID is shown.

When I use DomInstanceValueFieldDescriptor it shows “UUID: Value”.

Where does the magic happen to display only the value?

Hi Felix,
The form uses the name of the DomInstance for these type of fields, which defaults to the GUID if no name definition is set on the DomDefinition.

You can name your DomInstances by creating a DomInstanceNameDefinition for your DomDefinition. You can build the name by adding a combination of FieldValues and static strings. See the docs page for more information and examples.

Please let me know if you need any help settings this up!
