By default, when I insert an entity in a note or a document, it shows the workflow state with it:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/a/aabcce967d7637b31c245391eb6a3da4487c0e3c.png)

For some database items, though, I’d like to see values from another column there instead of the workflow. For example, for insights from user interviews, I’d need more to see the type of insight (observation, pain point, etc.) rather than the workflow state, because the workflows state is not important to me at this moment.  
Is it possible to choose another column that would appear with the entity instead of the workflow?

Hi, this is in near future plans. We’ve introduced Pinned Fields recently and going to expand this concept to references as well

> pushpin Customize pinned Fields While we’ve heard nice things about how [multi-panel navigation](https://fibery.io/blog/multi-panel-navigation "https://fibery.io/blog/multi-panel-navigation") reduces cognitive load and unlocks new scenarios, there’s been one recurring complaint: extra click to see the Fields. So here is a way to pin your most important Fields on top of a panel: [customize-pinned-fields] The customization is independent for each Database. So far only select (including Workflow) and relation Fields (including Assignments) are available with other kinds of Fields to foll…

> Hi, it would be really useful to have an option to make a field show next to the entity name when it’s referenced (and in the entity picker/search). Exactly how the ‘State’ and assignee field is shown: [image] This is really useful for seeing the state of an entity, but not all entities have states or assignees. To be able to choose which fields show in this way at the database level would be very useful and flexible, for example like this: (please excuse the poor mockup)
