Inline text with empty value not displaying at all
I have noticed with custom inline text fields that if the field is not mandatory and has an empty value (like on create), then the field does not display at all (it will once you save the record, but not on create). I want it to display because during the create process the user will enter data that will populate this field (either by sourcing or by script) and I want them to see it. This behavior seems to only be if the field is on the main form area (not a sub-tab).
For regular fields such as text and number I can workaround by setting a default value of '-' and 0 but for list record fields, this can't be done since I don't know what record ID to default to until the user enters some other data.
