Shortest Way to Create a Custom Lookup (MBONAME attribute in xml) | IBM Maximo

1.Insert this into looksup.xml

<table id="custum_lookup" inputmode="readonly" mboname="custom_object" selectmode="single">
<tablebody displayrowsperpage="20" filterable="true" filterexpanded="true" id="custum_lookup_lookup_tablebody">
<tablecol dataattribute="description" id="custum_lookup_lookup_tablebody_col_2" mxevent="selectrecord" mxevent_desc="Go To %1" sortable="true" type="link"/>
</tablebody>
</table>

2. Add this table id (custum_lookup) as lookup in application designer.
3. Add source and target in Edit Lookup Map.

We are done :)
