A related list "XYZ" is visible on the form but I can't find its Relationship record. Did anyone come across with the same issue in past?

Hi @kdivyanshu
Check for an Implicit Relationship
ServiceNow automatically creates related lists when a table contains a reference field to the current table.
To check:
- Go to System Definition > Tables.
- Open the XYZ table.
- Look for any field that references current table.

Hi @kdivyanshu
Every related list may not have a Relationship record, it could be referenced directly as well.
please go to Related lists for that table.
You may see multiple records with different views. Open the one that belongs to the view you are looking for.
under related list entries, you can see if it is directly related or coming from relationship table.

Is there any field on the related list table which points to your main table?
If yes then it's a direct relationship and not a defined one.
Right Click and Configure List Control and you will know if it's a defined relationship as it will show you the sysId of it
This sysId you can search in Relationships table
If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi Ankur,
I checked using Configure List Control and there is not a defined relationship as it is not showing the sys id of it. Is there any way, I can rename the name of the Related list?
