CRM 2013: Cannot get "+" sign to showup on Connections sub-grid on Account form same as it does on Opportunity form. RRS feed

    On the default Opportunity form, a user can quickly create a new Connection for "Stakeholders" right inline with the sub-grid on the Opportunity form.  I tried the exact same thing on the Account form with no luck.  I created the sub-grid to have the exact same values as the sub-grid on the Opportunity form.

    On the Account form, only the "list" icon appears but no "+" sign.  On the Opportunity form, only the "+" icon shows up and no "list" icon.  I cannot discern what the differences are in the sub-grid setup or in the entity relationship setup.  I'm beginning to think there is some custom code behind the Opportunity form.  Does anyone have insight into this?

    (Note: I know the "+" icon will show up for sub-grids for entities that have 1:N relationships.  But on the Opportunity form, it is showing up for various N:N relationships, including Connections and Competitors.)

    Hi,

    You are right - at this time the Connections subgrid on the Opportunity form is 'special' and cannot be used on other entities unfortunately.

    I just stumbled upon this today also.  Can we get Microsoft to respond?  Sure seems like a bug...

    Thanks,

    MS have closed that Connect ticket as "By Design". I'm still struggling with Connections subgrids and the inability to add right on the form rather than navigating to the associated view - this is not intuitive for users at all. Any feedback from anyone on whether MS have plans to extend the "special" opp form behaviour to other forms?

    Hey Scott,

    I have the same issue with CRM 2015.  Is there a resolution to this issue yet?

    Thanks!

    I just spent a 1/2 day trying to duplicate Stakeholders subgrid on a new entity form in CRM Online.  The ability to reuse this subgrid or create a new subgrid with similar '+' lookup functionality would be very helpful

    Hi!

    I've created a solution that duplicates this kind of functionality in a custom webresource using www.sparkleXRM.com.

    See

    Hope this helps!
