Form Layout - Cannot find extended fields

[adriantan08]

Hi everyone, 

I have a 2 custom task table. One is referencing the other. I want to add the extended fields of the referenced parent in the form view however, these are not available. 

Usually in the slushbucket, you can find the extended fields after expanding the reference field (usually red text), but those are not available. Is there any misconfiguration I am missing. The said extended fields are available if via List Layout though.

unless you have a field which refers to the other table, you cannot dot walk

Nope, actually just to describe my structure a bit.

Custom Task A

- Name

Custom Task B

- Name

- Parent (referenced to Custom Task A)

So now, I want in Custom Task B form view to add Parent.Name which is actually referencing Custom Task A Name column. This part is now available in Form Layout, but interestingly, available in List Layout.

I encountered this issue too and wasn't able to answer your exact question, but I did discover that the new Form Builder application in the Washington release allows you to add fields to a form, from a referenced table's extended tables.
