Appreciate for your help.

Hello, everyone. I would would like to provide you with further clarification.

I am getting a selector for Branch ID, however I need to show the static selecor icon in the grid field that is visible always.

If you would like the magnifying glass icon to always be visible, even when the field is not selected, that is likely not supported.

One possible workaround would be to add a separate column with the magnifying glass icon next to the field. However, since users can change column order, this approach may not be reliable and is generally not recommended.

Another option is to update the column header with a hint, such as (search here). You could also try including a symbol like (🔎), though I am not sure that would display in the headers and you might get a square box.

Hello ​@emamsk38 ,

Is your field selector?
Does it contain a PXSelectorAttribute ?

Yes, it has PXSelectorAttribute.

If the field was added to the screen before it had the PXSelectorAttribute then you’ll need to remove the field from the grid and re-add it.

Yes, it has PXSelectorAttribute.

If the suggestion from ​@Django would not help (which should help if you have PXSelectorAttribute), then please share the field in the DAC along with attributes and the part of the ASPX page for this field.

As far as I know, Acumatica doesn’t currently support always showing the selector icon in grid columns. I would recommend submitting a support ticket to Acumatica to confirm.
