DocTypes - Link fields

Frappe Framework Customization
1

Hi There,

I have a doctype that has a link field to customer. This displays the name field with a clickable link to the Customer doctype on my doctype’s form.

Is it possible to replace name attribute (which is sometimes an ID) in the link field with a custom label? I’ve seen that this is possible in listviews, by creating formatters in frappe.listview_settings

Is something similar possible in form views?

The link field can work the same way you’re looking for, just ensure that Customer/Supplier are NOT named by naming series in Selling/Buying settings.
