Related list with different View

[Tim Deniston]

How do I get a related list on a given form to use a particular view? For example, I created a view called "ess" for the Affected CI table (task_ci) with different columns than its default list view. I want the Affected CIs related list on the Change Request form (Normal view) to use the new ess view rather than the default view. Is that possible?

I don't believe it will work the way you are going about it using views, as the related list will inherit the view of the form you are on; but if you right click on the header of the related list you can do a configure->layout there which will apply specifically to that form for that view(i.e. it won't change the main list for the table even though it is in the same view).

You can confirm by visiting sys_ui_list where table is the related list and parent is the form.

Thanks, josephmccarty... I was totally over-thinking (or under-thinking?) it.
