Hi Philb, As per one of your suggestion for the query in "forum.appian.com/.../Have 14 columns", we added instruction in textField() (Second Column) in gridRowLayout(). But the instruction value is not being displayed.

I have attached screen shot.

Below is the code for SAIL interface

load(
a!formLayout(
          label:"Items Cart",
          firstColumnContents:{
                    a!sectionLayout(
                              label:"",
                              firstColumnContents: {
                                        a!gridLayout(
                                         headerCells: {
                                                  a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Mfr"),
                                                  a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Part No"),
                                                  a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Part Desc"),
                                                  a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Vendor"),
                                                  a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "G/L"),
                                                  a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Vehicle No")
                                         },
                                         rows: {
                                                  a!gridRowLayout(
                                                   contents: {
                                                            a!textField(readOnly: true, value: "ABCD"),
                                                            a!textField(instructions:"1234",value: "065211"),
                                                            a!textField(readOnly: true, value...

@rajeevh By chance did you get a chance to go through Documentation which says 'When a SAIL component is placed into a grid cell, the following component configurations are ignored: label, instructions, label position.'

Ah yes unfortunately that's not supported as sikhi says. Have you merged the columns as suggested? Alternatively, use this SAIL recipe rather than an editable grid and you'll be able to show the instructions: forum.appian.com/.../SAIL_Recipes.html

You could also explore adding each item as a dynamically added section in the items cart form. forum.appian.com/.../SAIL_Recipes.html

Also just to note that in that example you don't actually need the load() as you're not actually defining any local variables.

@sikhivahans: Thanks for quick response. pbilb has clarified the doubt.
@pbilb: We are already planning to demo to client similar to SAIL recipe link; To display, two columns section of the selected line item in gridField, so that we can accommodate both scroll bar for Grid Section and proper readability of individual fields in section below.
@gauravg568: Thanks. I will try as per the SAIL recipe.

Sounds sensible. In our experience, it's better to use the add/edit section recipe when dealing with large datasets for better performance and a cleaner user interface.
