Contextual development edit messages

The platform displays a message if you attempt to edit a Store Application record when you're in a different application scope.

Image omitted: ApplicationContextWarningMessage.png
If you're not in the scope for a store application, a message appears with options to edit the record or switch scope.

This message can be used to:

  • Open the application to which the current configuration record belongs.
  • Open the application of the currently selected application in the application picker.
  • Temporarily switch to the application to which the current configuration record belongs and edit it.

Note: The system returns you to the current application context after you save or cancel out of the record.

The system also displays a message when a user attempts to configure a list or form layout while working from another application scope.

If you want to edit a list or form layout from a different scope, a message appears with some options for editing.

The message provides a list of valid options:

  • Edit the current section by temporarily switching to the application that owns it.
  • Create a section in the current application context.
  • Create a view in the current application context.

Note: The system returns you to the current application context after you save or cancel out of the record.
