Display value of a field in relation field list items

Hello,

Another new featured request if it's possible to implement this :
In relation field, we can choose many categories of allowed items. Then, in form, we have to choose the category we want and then, availables items of this category are displayed. 

But if categories has the same name, we are not able to know what categories to choose. Sure, we could rename categories to differentiate them but it's not fair.  

It will be nice if in the category select list of relation field we can display the parent category or, much better and powerful, a value of another field (or many) aside the items names.

Example :
I have 2 categories named Cities (children of "France" category, and "Angleterre" category).
In field relation category select, rather than having :
- Cities
- Cities
It will be nice to have this :
- Cities (France)
- Cities (Angleterre)

It requires to have parent categories so it's not handy.
So, here is a better solution, with field value of another field :
- We create a checkbox field (e.g. name : Continent) with these two allowed values : "Europe" and "USA"" and assign it to the country item form. So we can create an item named France and assign it (via checkbox) to Europe, and another item named New York and assign it to USA.
- In relation field parameters, we choose the two Country categories, and choose to display values of Continent field aside the items list.
- So in item relation "category select list", we should have this :
--- Country - Europe
--- Country - USA

I think it will be very powerful for many circumstances.

Thank you for your answer.

Regards.

So bad.
I made this feature request a long long time ago but I'm unable to find the old topic so I create this new one.
Thus, it's been a problem for a longtime for me and I thought that it will be resolved now after all these years.
