Form Issue with related lists

rp6104 — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 12:45:43 GMT

The related list on all forms for all views for all tables show in this format. We want them to be in a tabbed format instead of this "stacked" view.

Hi @rp6104

Your instance is showing stacked related lists (UI16 style).
To convert them into tabbed related lists, enable the system property:

glide.ui.related_list_tabs = true

Steps:

Go to System Properties → UI Properties
Search: related_list_tabs
Set value to true
Save and refresh

Hi @rp6104,

Navigate to sys_user_preference.LIST from All navigator.

Make a record as shown in screenshot below.

Capture in update set.

It will set all related lists as tabbed for all Users.

Please mark the answer as solution and helpful if it helps achieve your usecase.

Thank you

Hi @rp6104

Go to User Preferences and locate the preference named tabbed.forms

If the User field is blank, update that record.
If no record exists with a blank User field, create a new one.

Set the value to true and save the record.

This establishes the default preference for all users. The setting will apply to everyone unless an individual user overrides it with their own preference.
