    • The platform displays a message if you attempt to edit a Store Application record when you're in a different application scope.

    Figure 1. Application context edit message
    If you're not in the scope for a store application, a message appears with options to edit the record or switch scope.

    This message can be used to:

    • Open the application to which the current configuration record belongs.
    • Open the application of the currently selected application in the application picker.
    • Temporarily switch to the application to which the current configuration record belongs and edit it.
    Note:
    The system returns you to the current application context after you save or cancel out of the record.

    The system also displays a message when a user attempts to configure a list or form layout while working from another application scope.

    Figure 2. Application context edit message for form layout or design
    If you want to edit a list or form layout from a different scope, a message appears with some options for editing.

    The message provides a list of valid options:

    • Edit the current section by temporarily switching to the application that owns it.
    • Create a section in the current application context.
    • Create a view in the current application context.
    Note:
    The system returns you to the current application context after you save or cancel out of the record.
