Hello everyone, I encountered an issue in my app that I can easily reproduce in a small sample application running on version 3.0. Everything works and renders correctly in my production environment, which is currently running version 2.9. In a subform, I have a field linked to a dependent field. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/five/original/2X/4/4dd6a9ee15921688881d5c48931b70cc2cf2e4ca.png) When adding a new record inside this subform, there are no issues and the dependent field appears as expected. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/five/original/2X/c/cc9ebc9f9dcfa6eda4eb86ffe0d3daf96584f246.png) However, when viewing the subform within the main form, the dependent field fails to show up. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/five/original/2X/4/445d7526ecd46304af5d8f923a0df7a69a9304e0.png) I have attached the sample application to this message for troubleshooting. By the way, although the default user interface is set to ‘Boston’ in this sample app, the layout looks more like ‘New York’. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/five/original/2X/5/5c9ab1ba81cd1dc989c491bc95439407f64fa75c.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/five/original/2X/7/765fd6447bed72a10a09f4b4a26b7c05fb513f7e.png) Thank you!

Hi Jean, Thank you for sharing this scenario. I have notified the development team, and we will keep you updated as soon as it gets fixed. Regarding the user interface, you can change it in the Instances form, and it should be applied. Regards, Elton S ---

“UI: Ok, I realize that the setting at the application level is a default setting, and it can be overwridden at the instance level. Thanks!” ---
