how related list respond to the click on values

kapil_shinde · ‎01-27-2024

Hi All,

do we know how related list opens form specific to the column when we click on any of the value. For example , Approver list on Change form, when we click on Requested in the State column it opens sysapproval_approvers form. Similarly when we click on any of the user in User column it opens user form ?

Thank you in advance

Hi @kapil_shinde as others have said it is OOB functionality. However these links are shown on all list views, not just related lists (which is after all a list view). If you are looking for a way to control / manage it, you can do that in 'List Controls' by checking / unchecking 'omit links'

1. right click on a column header in the list view you want to modify

2. check or uncheck 'omit links'

3. click update

Hope this helped

@kapil_shinde In the form layout, related lists display records from tables related to the current record through reference fields

Clicking on a value in a related list, such as a user in the "User" column, triggers the system to open the referenced record in the corresponding table.

When you click on a value in a related list, it typically opens a related form based on the reference field associated with that column and this behavior is controlled by the config. of the reference field and related list on a form.

Hope this helps.
