How to select which fields show up on the portal or on the form's linked records?

I want to customize the fields that the user sees to know the record's content without clicking on it.

You can choose which fields to be previewed on the portal layout (e.g. grid/gallery) or linked records on the form. There are 2 ways:

1. Select Custom Fields

There is an option to override the default preview fields by setting up the Custom preview fields. Instead of showing the top fields of the child form, you'll pick a list of fields in this option. This will affect the grid, list, and gallery view.

2. Child Form

Can also be called a nested form or sub-form. It is a form that lives inside the linked records field. You can access it by clicking on this button here:

By changing the order of the fields in the child form. Whichever fields you move to be in the top 3-6 spots in the child form, they'll be shown on the outside of the linked record or the grid.

Note that linked records are 'expandable' by default if the linked field has a child form (allows expanding/editing). There's no new option for it in the settings.

💡Tip

In the List layout, you can hide the title of the fields by turning on the Hide title for preview fields toggle in the Layout section.
