Hi,
I tried adding the edit button using list controls. The Omit edit button checkbox in unchecked. I also clicked the enable editing button. Still the edit button is not visible in the related list.How can I do the same?
Thanks in advance,
Sruthi

Thank you very helpful. In Quebec version instead of "Update" there is a UI Action called "Enable Edit" that will display the Edit functionality. I replaced the "Click Update" step with "Click Enable Edit"

Hi Sruthi,
If you are still not able to see the edit button, then there might be some ACL on the relationship table. Please check and then try.

The above link worked for me on a one-to-many relationship. I had to check the Reference floats checkbox by editing the dictionary entry for the reference field on the child table
