Embedded Report, Add Record button not showing

I have a form with multiple tabs onto which I have embedded reports from related tabled. When the relationship was created a Report Link and and Add button are created. I generally do not include the "Add button" on my form as the embedded report has a built in Add option. I also know that on a form, you can specify whether or not to show that built in option.

My issue is that I have an embedded report that isn't displaying the built in add option. I have confirmed: (1) that the form is not hiding this option, (2) that the table allows for new records to be created, and (3) that I have ample permissions to access the table and create records.

What other reasons would cause this issue? As a side note, the form has 7 tabs, each with an embedded report, and this one is the only one not showing the built in add option.

What obvious reason am I missing?

  • Decided for now to just hide all built in new options and added the Add Button.

  • Last note, if I click on the icon to view the full report it opens as expected in a new browser tab and there it does show the blue +New button.

  • I even confirmed that the report being used allows editing of records.

  • Those tables are not hidden and I do see the blue +New button for each table report. It's just strange that some are showing and others are not.

  • .. Any chance that in the Role settings, under User Interface, that somehow the Hide Button/links got checked?  Also on the native child table itself, do you have the Blue + Add New child button showing at the top right?
