Select New to open the Related List form.After filling in the form, click Submit to add the new entry directly to the related list and to the table the related list calls. The Edit button on related lists is available when the relationship is either a one-to-many or many-to-many. The Edit button allows users to easily relate multiple records. The Edit button is NOT available on a scripted related list - sometimes called a "defined" or "custom" related list. Defined related lists can be accessed through the "Relationships" module. The first step in troubleshooting any related list is to identify the type of related list. For more information, see Determining a related list type. To troubleshoot a one-to-many related list: 1. Understand Related List Types Determine if the related list is one-to-many, many-to-many, or a scripted/defined list.The Edit button is only available on one-to-many and many-to-many relationships.Defined (scripted) related lists do not support the Edit button.See: Determining a Related List Type 2. Check List Control Settings Navigate to the form > Configure > Related Lists.Open List Control and verify:Show New Button is enabled.Show Edit Button is enabled.See: Configuring List Controls 3. Verify User Permissions Confirm the user has Create or Write ACLs on:The child table.The reference field that links to the parent table.See: Checking ACLs for Related Lists 4. Enable Reference Float (for One-to-Many Lists) Edit the dictionary entry for the reference field on the child table.Enable the Reference Float option.This allows the Edit button to appear in one-to-many relationships.See: Reference Float Functionality 5. Check the First Record’s ACLs The system checks ACLs for the first record in the related list.If that record fails the ACL check, the New and Edit buttons may be hidden—even if others pass.Sort or filter the related list to test with a different first record. 6. Review UI Action Conditions Review any custom UI Action conditions for the New or Edit buttons.Ensure the conditions do not inadvertently restrict visibility based on user roles or context.Related LinksUI action controls
