I am attempting to embed a Chart View as an inline view within a Detail View. However, I am encountering a persistent and anomalous UI behavior that prevents me from accessing the “Detail Layout” section.
Expected Behavior: When the “View type” of a view is set to detail, the configuration panel should display a “Detail Layout” section allowing me to list and configure individual columns, including related virtual columns where I can set their “VIEW” type (e.g., Chart).
Actual Behavior: Even when I explicitly select detail as the “View type” for a Detail View, the configuration panel consistently displays options related to a Card or Deck view, such as:
“Use Card Layout”
“Main image”
“Header columns”
“Sort by”
“Column order”
“Display mode” (with options like Automatic, Normal, Centered, Side-by-side)
The “Detail Layout” section (which should be present for a true Detail view) is entirely missing. This occurs for both system-generated Detail views and newly created Detail views.
Steps Taken (and observed behavior):
Data Model Verification:
Confirmed a Ref column exists in my child table pointing to my parent table.
Confirmed the Type of the Ref column is Ref and its Source Table is correctly set.
Confirmed Key columns are correctly set for both parent and child tables.
Regenerated structure for both tables (Data > Tables > … > Regenerate structure).
Chart View Creation:
Successfully created and configured a standalone Chart View based on the child table. (This chart view itself displays correctly if accessed directly).
Attempted to Configure System-Generated Detail View:
Navigated to UX > Views and selected the system generated.
Observed: “View type” selector was missing from “View Options” at the top. The panel only showed Deck/Card-like options.
Attempted to Create a New Detail View:
Navigated to UX > Views and clicked + New View.
Set “For data” to the parent table ([Parent Table Name]).
Explicitly clicked the detail icon for “View type”.
Set “Position” to Ref.
Observed: Despite detail being selected, the configuration panel still displayed “Use Card Layout” and other Deck/Card options instead of “Detail Layout.” The “Detail Layout” section never appeared.
Browser Troubleshooting:
Cleared browser cache and cookies.
Attempted in an Incognito/Private window.
Attempted in a different web browser.
(If applicable: Temporarily disabled browser extensions).
Result: The issue persists across all browser troubleshooting steps.
Request: Could you please investigate why the “Detail Layout” section is not appearing for Detail views in my AppSheet editor, even when the “View type” is correctly set to detail? This behavior is preventing me from embedding inline charts as intended.
