Hi,

I created a new custom related list called 'Assignment Histroy'. When I try to add the 'Edit' button using the List control, the option is Read only. How can I add the 'Edit' button to the related list?

Hi @Alon Grod ,

The 'Edit' button usually comes only for M2M tables.

Also you can check this thread and KB

For further understanding.

@Sonam Tiwari how can I make the custom table that I created as M2M table ? then I will be able to add 'Edit'?

@Alon Grod ,
 To create a m2m table you need to go to sys_m2m.list and create your record there. then you will be able to see the same available in Incident related lists to add to the form.

Not very sure about the requirement here. Just curious on why you are not using Metrics and existing metric definition on incident table to track the the assignment groups changes and history by just adding  metrics to the form.
