In SuiteCRM 8, why is it not possible to configure separate field views for EditView and DetailView? Are there any recommended approaches or workarounds to achieve this separation?"

No, I don’t think there is a way.

I am curious, can you explain why you would need that difference? Thanks

There are many reasons why two different views can help:

  • Have tabs in detail view and panels in edit view
  • Do not display calculated fields in edit view without writing any custom code
  • organize fields differently (for example, we often place required fields at the top of the edit view. Or at least higher)
