How to change the inline view for reference table

my related reference view is displaying another ref view. i wan it to display the table inline ref view. anyway we can decide/change the desired ref view?

How appsheet determines the view type of a related column? Questions

Here’s how the choice is currently made: Ref views get higher priority than non-ref views Explicitly created ref views get higher priority than system-generated views If all else is equal, we choose gallery > chart > map > deck > table > card Now that last part is questionable — we wanted to select more specialized presentations ahead of more generalized presentations. We could have required that it be explicitly specified or at least go with a default that can be explicitly overridden. Stil…

[Allow to select which inline views to be used in a detail view](https://community.appsheet.com/t/allow-to-select-which-inline-views-to-be-used-in-a-detail-view/9554/2) Feature Requests

If you need a different inline view, you can: create a slice of the data create a table view of that slice create a new VC in the parent table with the appropriate ref_row() expression to reference the slice (see the auto-created one for an example) edit the detail view of the parent record to show the new VC instead of the old one.

You’ll need to create a slice on the table, reconfigure the column containing the list of Ref values to refer to the slice rather than the table, then attach a desired inline view to the slice.

Thanks @Steve works like charm.

because of this priority * If all else is equal, we choose gallery > chart > map > deck > table > card

i have a chart for the dashboard on the same table, hence it is taking precedence. but i would like to have the related reference, display as details view. do you know any workaround that, we could override the default as mentioned by @praveen

There is no alternative other than what I offered.
