Showing dynamic fields on a report?
My app has a number of dynamic fields that show based on a location field. Everything is working properly. Except, when I just click the eyeball to view the record, I only see the fields that are ma...

Sorry... so the "View" option for a record will only show fields that are not controlled by dynamic rules that show on the form when creating a record?
So does this mean fields based on reports can not be shown at all on a report? There is no way to force them to show even if there is no data?

Qrew LegendI think we are still struggling to communicate with each other so let's keep trying.
When you click to view a record with the eyeball on a report, it will display the single record on a form.
I don't know whether you are using legacy forms or new style forms, but either way you were in control of which fields show on the form and whether they are controlled dynamically according to form rules.
i'm not sure if this was your question but once you have multiple forms, which I really don't recommend, but if you do have multiple forms, then it is possible to go to the form usage settings and associate particular forms with particular reports.
but in my experience, you are far better off having a single form and using form rules to control which fields or ideally which sections or Tabs show.
Are we on the same wavelength yet? Am I understanding your question?
Apologies for the confusion, one of my colleagues just corrected me on part of what I was miscommunicating in terms of forms vs. reports.
We are using the legacy forms and the problem I am having is on the form, not a report. I attached a file with screenshots explaining what I was doing and what I am missing.
My issue appears to be with the form for VIEWING.

I think your whole question boils down to this. You have some fields on the form which show in Add and Edit mode, but not in View mode. I suggest you look at the Forum properties for those fields and you will likely find that they are set to display in ad or edit mode, but for some reason not in view mode. So let's check that out first.
