AI generated property description:

The ServiceNow property `glide.ui.ref_ac.startswith` determines the behavior of the auto-complete feature for reference fields. When set to `true`, the auto-complete suggestions will only include records where the reference field value starts with the characters entered by the user. This can help in narrowing down the search results more efficiently, especially in instances with a large number of records. Conversely, if set to `false`, the auto-complete will suggest records that contain the entered characters anywhere within the reference field value. This property can be configured to enhance user experience by tailoring the search behavior to specific needs.
