I am wondering why extension applications require a detail form. We have several extension applications where we simply want to add a field to the list view but then we have to add information to the detail form to get the application to save. Why is this required? We also have some applications in production created over extension tables that do not have detail forms created over them which makes me think this may be a newer requirement.
Hi Melanie - yes, that’s a requirement as of 25.1.
That requirement is currently in place to ensure anything using Data Mapper (App Links being the key example) can map values properly at runtime. For any app type that has a detail form, fields must exist on the detail view in order to be mapped correctly. In your scenario though, I see why it’s a bit overkill, but that’s the reasoning behind the validation.
