DEVELOPERS FORUM - Removing ID from "Affected Item" and "Related Item" item types in "Where Used" and "Structure Browser"

Hi There,

I am not well versed in Innovator, but I am trying to make the Where Used and Structure Browser views a little more reader friendly by showing relevant information using keyed_name_order rather than the generic id.

Currently non-relationship item types such as Document and ECN display correctly, but the actual line for Affected Item or Related Item appears to only show either show non-string or text values such as created_on, or the id.

Here's an example of what I would like "Where Used" to look like:

Document - Document Title - A.3
     Affected Item
          ECN - ECN Title 1 - A.1
     Affected Item
          ECN - ECN Title 2 - A.1 
    ...

Currently, it looks like:

Document - Document Title - A.3
     Affected Item - 2855D7F502FE4E799EBBA5FF586106C5 - A.1
          ECN - ECN Title 1 - A.1
     Affected Item - 2855D7F502FE4E799EBBA5FF586106C5 - A.1 
          ECN - ECN Title 2 - A.1 
    ...

with different guids of course. By setting keyed_name_order on the Affected Item itemtype for values such as created_on, or is_current, the id is replaced with that value.  However, if I set keyed_name_order for state, or a custom string/text field (blank or with value), the id is shown instead of the string.

Any help on this would be most appreciated :)
