The same way the 'Sell-to Customer Name' field on the sales documents acts, but without having to custom-code the whole thing. (although this actually uses a 'real' customer name field, whereas we don't want to add the option to overwrite the customer name.) This would save quite some space on pages.
PS: In addition, it could be interesting showing only the flowfield in list pages as well, but when the user filters on the flowfield, to use the source field (code field) instead to execute the query.

This is part of a wider issue you see constantly in demos when navigating. If their is a link to another item of masterdata (i.e. customer/item/lot) the system has to open a full list, then click on a row, then choose a menu item to view. BC has to take inspiration from SAP B1 drill down/preview functionality, but reinvent for the modern web. All the data is their already, just waiting for you to impress customers.

Good idea - it can be achieved through coding today, but it's a lot of effort each time, so would be great if a control could be made that linked eg. code and flowfield description.
