Explanation

The Reference field type is purpose-built for cross-table relationships in ServiceNow. On a form, it renders a dynamic search input that queries a specified target table and stores a pointer to the selected record, displaying that record's display value. The Date field type stores only date/time values, the Phone Number field type stores only formatted phone strings, and the String field type stores only plain text-none of these types can reference or retrieve records from another table.
