Extra Action Buttons don't show up on subforms

Hi,

It seems to me that Extra Action Buttons never show up on subforms or in forms launched from lookup fields. When I launch a form from a button on the index page, the Extra Action Buttons show up. Yet, they don't show up when i launch that same form from a lookup field or view it as a subform on another form.

There is no display condition that would prevent the button from being displayed.

Am I right? If so, is this a bug, or by design?

Thanks,
Cassidy

Cassidy,
Extra Action Buttons are displayed on Edit Screens (see this wiki page).
With lookup, you can open only Browse Screen and select a record to insert in lookup object.
The same is true for forms used as mashed-subform (see this wiki page).

So, you are right: it's not a bug, but a feature!
