Hi Venkat,

Your requirement of giving more that one column in your Help can be achieveable using OVS Search Help. I've used OVS search help to display two columns in search help having key and description thereto.

There are Tutorial PDF available, but I'm not sure whether the Link from SDN Wiki is allowed to be posted here or not. That's why I'm avoiding to give you direct link.

However, you can easily find that PDF.

Thanks.

Kumar Saurav.

Add one more attribute to the node having the attirbute bound to texts property of DDBI

now loop through the elements of node and fill this new attribute with the description + value

and then bind the texts property of the DDBI to this attirbute.

dropdown will get the descrption and value both.
