Custom Field is not visible in form layout

[Saurav Bhardwa2]

I have created a custom field with name "ABC"  on Controls Objective table which is a parent table. Now, I wanted that field to be visible on Control Table as well which is a child table. I tried to pull out the field from Control table form layout, but when I am expanding the Control Objective reference field in the form layout, it is showing me the other fields but I can't see Custom Field "ABC" in the form layout. 

May I know if it is possible to pull out that field in the form Layout?

hi @Saurav Bhardwa2  ,

If Control is a child table of Control Objective, the field ABC created on the parent table should be inherited by the child table. You should be able to add ABC directly to the Control form.

However, if you are expanding the Control Objective reference field in the form layout, you are looking at dot-walked fields from the referenced record. This is different from inherited fields.

I would check the following:

• Confirm that Control actually extends Control Objective.
• Check the dictionary record for ABC and confirm it was created on Control Objective.
• Try adding ABC directly from the available fields on the Control form.
• If ABC is not available, check whether the field is hidden or has a dictionary override.
