Running with version 8.x (can’t find were to easy verify version…) but after I’ve added to new fields needed and trying to perform drag and drop in the Studio under Edit View for Accounts; nothing happens. Tried multiply browser and ensure any kind of local blockers are disabled; but simply won’t stick and no errors are shown. I’m I missing out on a step here?
- Hover over your name on the top-right corner. The dropdown will open and click on About option. You will see version number.
That is weird! Did you check browser console?
Version 8.6.2 was used for reporting above but did a clean installation with 8.8.0 still the same error, so not sure what is going on here.
Additionally when looking at the installation instructions; it indicates to chmod -R 775 cache custom modules themes data upload but the cache folder is the only folder that matches the instructions as the rest of the folders are neither in the SuiteCRM root directory nor in the /public folder
Wait you should have those folders under /public/legacy/
Are you sure you installed it correctly? 
Check folder structure on the GitHub:
Yes, those folders are in /public/legacy/ but then I would argue that the installation instructions isn’t clear since it talks about Set the correct permissions on the SuiteCRM directory which would either be two steps down based on what you’re suggestion or at best the /public/ - which would need to be clarified in the current installation instructions.
And yes, installed corrected based on that the installation script ran fully without any issues. 
Going back to the original issue that the Studio won’t allow editing the views by drag and drop new attributes into the view. Some pointers what to look for would be nice. That normal Apache2 error logs for the installation doesn’t show anything and suitecrm.log shows some error related to missing allowed_cron_users entry which isn’t related and will be fixed shortly.
Did you add new row in the edit view? Then click on SAVE and drag the custom filed on it and then click SAVE & DEPLOY.
@khvusr the installation instructions page you linked starts with a big banner saying those instructions are for SuiteCRM v7.
Then they link you to the v8 instructions where all of this should be clear. Let me know if those instructions are still unclear for you.
Good luck with your SuiteCRM journey !
Yes, did that, added a row and dragged the custom fields to the new empty row, but this changed doesn’t show up on the Account/Overview. The fields added are for organisational number and VAT number which I added a new row directly under Billing / Shipping address; but it doesn’t show up when viewing the account record itself. Are there any additional steps needed?
Make sure you have sync detail view checkbox enabled in the Layouts->Edit View.
Lol, yes just found that option as well.
That’s awesome! 
I encourage you to go through these docs:
