XML name of the component: lookupPickerField.

In fact, LookupPickerField is a hybrid of LookupField and PickerField. Thus it has the same features except the default list of actions added when determining the component in XML: for LookupPickerField these are lookup lookupBtn and open openBtn actions.

Below is an example of using LookupPickerField to select a value of the color reference attribute of the Car entity:

<data>
    <instance id="carDc" class="com.haulmont.sample.core.entity.Car" view="carEdit">
        <loader/>
    </instance>
    <collection id="colorsDc" class="com.haulmont.sample.core.entity.Color" view="_minimal">
        <loader id="colorsDl">
            <query>
                <![CDATA[select e from sample$Color e]]>
            </query>
        </loader>
    </collection>
</data>
<layout>
    <lookupPickerField dataContainer="carDc" property="color" optionsContainer="colorsDc"/>
</layout>
