I would like to see another attribute than the one shown (with same value "Rahela Vlaovic" for all selected features):

Is that possible?

this is the display expression of the layer, you can change it in the properties

Hmm - I cannot make that work. I have tried this: image

And this: image

But it does not change that the attribute "Name" is shown in the browser window

Sorry, this is properly handled in coming QGIS 3. To set the display expression of a layer in QGIS 2.x, you have to define it in the attribute table as a related layer -- not very easy way. A solution would be to use a python command to do it: iface.activeLayer().setDisplayExpression( 'your_expression' )
