Show name property of associated external content type in display/edit form

Question

I have an external list. The underlying external content type has an association to another external content type. The content types are built in sharepoint designer.

When I edit the item - the associated type is shown as ID. How can I set this field to display a certain property? For e.g. instead of customer ID display the customer name in the display/edit form.
