Hi David,

I followed the instruction from the link you provided but for some reason did not work. Here is what I did:

Created a file custom/Extension/modules/Contacts/Ext/Vardefs/account_type.php

$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['account_type'] =
array (
        'name' => 'account_type',
        'rname' => 'Account_Type',
        'id_name' => 'id',
        'vname' => 'LBL_TYPE',
        'type' => 'relate',
        'link' => 'accounts',
        'table' => 'accounts',
        'isnull' => 'true',
        'module' => 'Accounts',
        'dbType' => 'varchar',
        'source' => 'non-db',
);

Added the following code in custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/listviewdefs.php

'ACCOUNT_TYPE' => 
  array (
    'default' => true,
    'label' => 'LBL_TYPE',
    'width' => '10%',
  ),

Hello,

Change

  'rname' => 'Account_Type', 
  

to

   'rname' => 'account_type',
