Description
Related lists appear on new records before the record is committed to the database. For example, depending on the related list loading preference set:
- The "After the form loads" option is loading the related lists. This is not the desired behavior. Ideally, the page should recognize it is a new record and therefore related lists are not appropriate.
- The "On Demand" option shows a button to load related lists. Ideally, the button should not show for new incidents.
Having the related lists showing on new records is a risk as users may:
- Lose unsaved information on the parent ticket when trying to add a relationship
- Be able to create orphan relationships
Steps to Reproduce
- Click the gear icon (top right corner of the user interface).
- Change the Related List Loading option to After Form Loads.
- Navigate to Change > Open.
- Open a change record.
- In the Change Tasks tab or section, click New. Observe the related lists appear even though the new task form has just been opened and the task has not been saved.
