a!pickerFieldRecords - is there a way to control which record fields it searches on, and what is displayed in the suggestions/selected options?

Hi there, i want to use the a!pickerFieldRecords interface component but I want to control which record fields the user is querying against when typing into this, and I also want the suggestions/selected value to displayed using a custom record field I created which is a concatenation of the two fields I want the user to be able to query against. Is there a way I can do this?

    Actually I've figured out how to do it. You can set the Record Title in the "Views" section of the record type which determines what is shown in the picker for suggested/selected values, and also seems to be what the search is applied on. I feel like this needs to be documented better, and it would be good if some control could be provided in the pickerFieldRecords component to manage these options instead.

    No; use a!pickerFieldCustom for custom search fields and concatenated displays
