The Record Picker options are described below:

Record Picker Option Description
Filter The Filter section is intended to set the filter criteria for the master table records.
Sorting The Sorting section is intended to set the sorting order for the master table records:
Columns The Columns section allows you to select which columns will be used for presenting master table records. These column values will be displayed as record abbreviated entries, when a user edits the reference column data.

A reference column always participates in relation, therefore if you adjusted the Override default record picker options in such relation, the same settings will be displayed in the corresponding reference column and vice versa.

You can override the default record picker and set specific options for the master records selection directly in a reference column. Just activate the Override default record picker option in the reference column settings. For instance:
