Hi Anshul,

Please check on the parent or child table, if there are any UI policy or client script which is hiding the Description field?

Thanks

It appears these are two different form layouts and the field may not be placed on the form. Use the menu to bring up the form designer (Configure> Form Design) and pick the field from the fields list on the left and place it where you like in the formatter.

I have check all the UI policies, they are same for both child and parent table, also the field is present in design and layout as well.

Any else point why this field is not visible on form

Things you can try (as an admin)

• On the form, cntrl-alt-j to bring up the javascript evaluator. Execute the following code

g_form.setDisplay('description',true);

If this works, the field will show up right click on the label and select 'watch field'. Then you can determine what is hiding it

• Turn on security debugging. Search the output (at the bottom of the form) for description read rules that are presumably failing.
