Don't have an account?
Sapana I am trying to display a field from an object on a vf page which is actually a lookup field on that object and it is of text data type ,
Instead of text value the field is displaying an Id value
Hi,
In the standard page of the salesforce the lookup field display the name instead of record id. For example in contact account lookup field display the account name instead of account id in contact detail page. But in the VF page the lookup field always display the id not the name.
If you want to display the record name instead of record id.
For Contact display the account name instead of account id use the account.name instead of accountid property.
Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.
