In CUSTOMIZING THE P_COURSE page
the tutorial says
"double clicking opposite the Dynamic List mapping property."
I believe single clicking the ... button is the correct instruction.
Additionally, my window is slightly different than the one shown. Mine also shows a list return field(set to none) whatever that is.

Little more help.
Almost understood your explanation...can you maybe provide an example where I would use this.
I will go through the application again to see where it is being used.

There is an example of using a list return field in the tutorial "Building a Form to display and update tables with foreign keys".
But here's a simple example: say you had a database table employees which had a column department_id, then another table departments with columns department_id and department_name. When you display the employees table to a user, you just have an id but you really want to display the name, and if it's editable you want to be able to show a list of department names. To do this you use a dynamic list and map the display field to department name and the return field to department_id.
