Can not use Embedded list, show "only supported in UI16 and earlier".

[Yunfei Chen]

Hello all,

I'm learning Now platform and try to create an App. The App has two data table Order and Order Line, and Order Line has a reference field to Order.

There is a embedded list "Order Line -> Order".

But once I put it to the form, it not work.

How can I fix this?

Hi Yunfei,

There's a following note in ServiceNow documentation on Embedded Lists.

Note: Embedded lists are not supported in List v3. Embedded lists always display in List v2.

Also a note in UI Builder

Note: Embedded lists are only supported in UI16 and earlier.

List v3 is deprecated, and unavailable to new installs, so I wouldn't worry too much about that distinction w/ using embedded lists.  The biggest consideration when using them is that embedded lists are only supported in native form views (the OOB SP Form widget does not render them, nor does Workspace UI).

Hi Brian (or anyone),

First off, newbie alert so apologies if this is a silly question.. 

As the embedded list is no longer available in the latest form designer, is there an alternative method to achieve a similar outcome in the newer form engine or is this on a roadmap somewhere and just not built quite yet?

Thanks

Andy
