"Create new item" button in details page?

[Don_Rolfo]

Hi everyone,
I need help with a master/detail table setting: the button "Create new item" is not shown in details view of the master table



- whereas in edit mode I have the button:



I checked already all settings in the permissions table without success. Anybody any idea, how I get the button into the details view?

It because in the details view fields aren't editable, so there's no option to add/edit any settings. You have to be in the edit view to make changes to the record including subforms. May need to make a feature request if this is something you want to be able to do, or add a custom button.

I've thought about the custom button option and may do this for my pages.

Thanks for the explanation... makes (some) sense to me. I'll try the custom button option!
