Column not showing up in detail view

[Phil_Waite]

Hi,

I have a column that does not show up in a detail view. It shows when the user hits the edit button though. It is a value based on a VC from another Table. I have “unique outlets” shown on the column order but it’s not showing.

Looks like vitrual columns only show in the edit view of the detail.

A column with a blank value will not be displayed in a detail view. When a row is loaded into a form, all expressions for columns of that row are reevaluated. Perhaps that column is getting a value in the form view where it didn’t have one prior?

Note, too, that a regular (non-virtual) column App formula expression is only evaluated when the row is edited in a form or changed by an action.
