How to automatically "Show Related Fields" on Condition fields?

When you have a Conditions field, is there an attribute you can add that automatically has "Show Related Fields" activated?

It's very annoying if you need to filter on a related table to scroll to the bottom of the list, select Show Related Fields, then click back in the list, then select your desired related table filter.

Are you on Helsinki yet? If you are you should take a look at the List v3 plugin, which enhances the condition filters by adding cascading menus for reference fields.  


We are on Helsinki, but do not want to lose the detail rows. I do really like the List v3's way of doing reference tables - so that might be enough of an incentive to move over.


Can you explain what detail rows would be lost in List v3?   I have not seen anything about that.



We also have not moved to List v3 because of a minor bug.     We set the system property glide.ui.goto_use_contains to true so that the default keyword search on lists uses "contains" rather than "greater than or equal to" (I still do not understood why that is the default).   List v3 ignores that property and goes back to the default.  



I reported the bug on HI and they opened PRB679644 to track it but as yet a fix has not been fixed.


Detail rows look like the following:



Detail rows



From my reading of the comparison (Comparison of List v2 and List v3 ), those columns will show up like normal columns on Lists v3.
