when you create a view on a parent table, it does not automatically reflect in the child table unless explicitly configured. Here’s how it works:

1. View Creation on Parent Table

A view in ServiceNow is specific to a table and is defined in the sys_ui_view table.

If you create a new view on the parent table, it will only apply to that table unless inherited or manually set in child tables.

2. Behavior in Child Tables

Inheritance in ServiceNow: Child tables inherit fields from the parent table, but views are not automatically inherited.

If you want the same view in the child table, you must manually create the same view for the child table.

However, if the child table does not have a different view configured, it may still display the parent table’s fields.

3. Solution to Reflect Views in Child Tables

If you want the view from the parent table to reflect in the child table, you can:

Manually create the same view in the child table.

Use View Rules to define different layouts based on conditions.

Ensure that the fields from the parent table are available in the child table.

Hi @Suhail2297 
Please check below link once

not possible.

Only default view from parent gets inherited to child tables

In this case you will have to create your own view directly on child table.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Can i have same view for parent and child?

Except Default not other. 

Also, one thing to consider—why do you need the same view on the child form? The child form might have fields that you don’t want to display on the parent form, and vice versa. The purpose of having different views is to show tailored forms to different users based on their specific needs.
