Choose which fields to show in filters/linked records

Sometimes the primary field is not always the best way to differentiate between two records when filtering or linking records together.

I would love to be able to set a preference here – either at table level, or just for each instance’s options.

Sometimes when looking for a Booking, the important combination would be:

Name of person attending + Date of booking

But in another instance I might need to use:

Name of creator + Attending status

If the ‘primary’ field is too troublesome to swap in and out; allowing builders to decide which other fields display alongside it would work too (Airtable does something similar).

Have come across this myself, so second the request!

+10 totally. I run into issues all the time, as my Airtable Record Names (always formula fields that aggregate the name) often
have a very different functionality. Sometimes it is impossible to make a choice based on those, at least to the user.
