Field watch option not available

[Nakata1]

Hi All,

When logged in with the same permissions, the field watch may or may not be displayed by right-clicking. Why is this? This symptom also occurs in fields other than those using dotwalk.

Hi,

Please see if these scenarios apply, if so, then the Field Watcher will not show:

Note: The field watcher works only on form fields. It cannot be used on list fields. Also, field watcher is not available on password-protected fields or encrypted fields. Field watcher is only available within the UI frame. The option to watch a field does not appear in the context menu if you open a record outside of the UI frame, for example, in a new tab.
