RE: Scroll Locked/Independent Component

In addition, the requirement applies across dashboards as well as forms so we cannot guarantee the end user will interact with the form as a dialog style record action.

Validation messages in form layouts are not scroll independent and do not satisfy the client requirement.

When using a!formLayout() on an, when the interface is used in a related action or list action which opens in a dialog, the header label and button footers are fixed.
