Related list should be shown on load of the form, without saving/submitting it

[karolisjon]

Hello, we have requirement in our custom app to display a related list on the form right when it loads, not after you submit it. Reason for that is, that the record in question can be closed depending on values selected in the form when submitting it. So in that case the related list can appear on an already closed record. 

1. Is that even possible? 

2. If no, can anyone recommend any workarounds/practices to overcome this? 

Thanks.

Hi @karolisjon ,

This is not possible. Related lists show records that are related to the current record you are viewing, but if it's on a new form, there is no record in existence yet to related other records to.

Related lists only show up once the record has been inserted into the database. Reason behind this is because you cannot relate anything to a record until it is created.

Mark my answer correct & Helpful, if Applicable.

Thanks,
