Pasting a Callout View into a Dependent View- Bug or Working as Intended?

[Anonymous]

Creating a Callout View in a Dependent View assigns the Callout's Parent to the Parent View.  However, when pasting a Callout View in a Dependent View, it assigns the Callout's Parent to the Dependent View.  This means that the Callout will not show up in the Parent.  Is this a bug or working as intended?  See below for pseudo-hierarchy...

Creating Callout:

Parent View

• Dependent View 1
• Dependent View 2
• Callout (visibie in parent and all dependent views)

Pasting Callout:

Parent View

• Dependent View 1
  • Callout View (not visible in parent or other dependent views)
• Dependent View 2

Also, if anyone can chime in on how to change the Parent View to the actual parent, not the Dependent View without having to delete and recreate the views and reassign them detail names and numbers, that would be greatly appreciated!

If you pasted a Callout on a Dependant View (not a recommended workflow btw), change the Callout's Parent View to <none>.  Open Master View, the Callout will show.  Now, change it from <none> to Master View.

It may be a bug or it may be a feature.  Now I know a way to have a Callout only visible in a designated Dependent View without having to go to other Views to hide it.

Parent View is grayed out (this is an Plan Callout, not a Detail Callout).  With Detail Callout you can change the Parent View to None because it's not grayed out.

Yeah no solution for that. There has never been one and it is by design.
