Hey,

 

Wondering if you can help with an issue I am having with inserting a sub-list into a form.

 

The sub-list is inserted without error, however, the order in which columns are displayed are not in the same order as the column order in the Sub List. How can this be changed and some of the sublist items removed from displaying in the sub-list panel. Also how can I add expressions for any of the columns in the sublist?.

 

Thanks
Sandy

    Hi Sandy,

     

    When adding a sub-list, a new hidden view is created as a duplicate of the default view. But if then modify the main view of the sub-list, changes will not be applied to the view on a form.
    However, you can modify this view separately. For this open a form in runtime mode, click on a list ([i]List ribbon tab should appear[/i]), navigate to 'List' ribbon tab > 'Manage Views' group, click 'Modify View':

    Here you can add new columns to the view and change order:

    Also, for removing some items from displaying in the sub-list panel, use Filter settings which you can find on the same page:

    To add expressions for a column in the sub-list, go to design page mode, select appropriate field on the sub-list view, navigate to 'Behavior' ribbon tab > 'Sublist Column' group and enter expressions:11.30.2015-13.14.png

    Awesome, thanks for your assistance.

     

    I just have one other thing, can I change the labels in the sublist, in your example, could I change Title to Name. How do I do this?

     

    Thanks
    Sandy

    Hi Sandy,

     

    To change labels in a sub-list, open a form in runtime mode, click on the sub-list, navigate to 'List' ribbon tab > 'Settings' group, click 'List Settings':

    Clicking on a column name goes to the Column Settings, where you can change name or add description:
