Display reference or combo box in table

Summary

Display reference or combo box in table

Content

I am developing a VBCS app where the data comes from a DBaaS instance. I access this data via REST API. Not sure if this is relevant but thought I'd mention it.

 

I have tables that reference foreign keys. The foreign key is a sequence number generated by the database. Obviously the users would rather see business values than these sequence numbers. I have created References that provide user-friendly values for the foreign keys. On detail pages I can use a list box to display the user-friendly values.

 

Is there a similar strategy that I can use for tables? I don't see a way to define which control is used to display a data field in a table. Dragging-and-dropping any of the controls from the palette is being rejected for tables.
