Why does Dictionary Overrides related list go missing in all custom fields created on a table? I created few custom fields on the Release table. On all the fields, Dictionary Overrides related list is not visible.
NOTE: Configure--> Related lists shows 'Dictionary Overrides' as Available.
I have my own doubts if 'Dictionary Overrides' is a feature available for OOTB fields only?
Please suggest!

Hi Anish,
Dictionary override would only appear if a field is from parent table. For e.g. phone number field on incident form is field on incident table & hence no Dictionary override exists while Assignment Group is actually a field from Task table but from Incident form & hence Dictionary override exists.

This is the definition "Dictionary overrides provide the ability to define a field on an extended table differently from the field on the parent table."
Hope that answers your question
