Related table inline view - how to change?

I have an app view with a REF_ROWS showing related records.  The related tables has images and is defaulting to the view to showing the image but I would like to just show an inline table view.  See circled area of image below for what I would like to show as a table view.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, that is the right path and helped figure it out.  

Since there was no view created for the related child table, AppSheet was creating it's own.  Once you create a view, AppSheet automatically recognized it and used it for the inline view.

Thanks for the help!

I believe you can change the system generated inline view to a table view. 

Just go to the definition of The view and switch the setting.

That was my thought to but I cannot see an option to do this.

Not the detail view. Don't you see inline view?

I do but it is already set to table.

Configure the columns you want to display in the table. Ensure the image column is not the primary column displayed.

Confirmed image is not primary.


Did note when clicking "View" to see related records,

It takes you to View "gallery"

when clicking on 'gallery" it opens the view settings for the primary navigation view which is a table view and still can see no way to change from image view.

Alternative Solutions

  1. Create a New Slice for Related Records:

    • Create a new slice specifically for the related records and configure its view type.
    • This ensures the related records are displayed as desired without affecting other views.
  2. Directly Configure the Related Inline View:

    • Ensure that the specific inline view is correctly configured to show as a table.
  3. Use a Virtual Column to Concatenate Values:

    • Create a virtual column that concatenates the important values from the related records and use this in your table view.
  4. Explicitly Set the Navigation Action:

    • Create a custom action that navigates to the correct view type (table) when clicking on the related records.

how can i create multiple types of inline view of the same table i.e in some ref as table , gallary , deck for the same child records? 

Create a slice of the table for each alternate view, attach the alternate view to the slice, add a virtual column to the table with an App formula expression that copies the List of Ref you want to display in the alternate view, and set that column's Referenced Table to the slice.
