Ah, I see what you are after. You want a form button with a drop down list of choices to function like the Follow button! Thank you for clarifying.



I love that idea. I'm also sad to say that nothing like that exists OOB today for customers to create/configure. It may be possible to do with some custom programming, but that is beyond my skill set at this time and would likely involve DOM manipulation which carries upgrade risks.

Hi Sochan



Open your Table from Dictionary and In attributes filed add live_feed=true

You have to use Advanced View to see that filed

Hi Chuck,



Thank you. Is there a way to hide those button specific to the form or view?


The only control of that button that I am aware of us through a property that changes it for all users, all forms.

It looks as if you add live_feed=false in the attribute field (not the related list as that attribute appeared to be hidden) on the dictionary collection record of the table you wish to hide it on, it will remove that button only on that table. Note depending upon your version, this field may or may not be on your current form. You could always add that field to the list and list edit without messing with the form layout.


Note that once I entered this in the field, the system automatically added the same attribute to the related list.



Essentially doing the opposite of this article.
