+*** This solution uses g_list, so it works in Service Portal (and I assume ESC) only, not the native UI / Service Catalog interface ***<br>
+Developed in collaboration with Chris Perry
+
+
+On a reference variable in a multi-row variable set, sometimes you want the reference qualifier to include the value of a variable that is part of the Catalog Item, not within the MRVS
+
+When using this script that applies to the Variable set, not the Catalog Item, leave the Reference qualifier field on the MRVS variable empty 
+
+In this simplified example, I have a Manager (v_manager) reference variable (sys_user table) that belongs to the Catalog Item.  In the MRVS, I have an Employee (v_employee) reference variable (sys_user table).  I only want to be able to select user records that are active, and the Manager is the user I selected on the Catalog Item variable.
