List Field
The List field type is a powerful structural component used to manage collections of related data or sub-records directly within a parent form. It allows users to view, add, and manage multiple entries that belong to a specific record without navigating away from the main page.
List Field Properties
Note: Every field in SnapApp shares a set of universal properties, such as Display and Edit settings, that are configured during creation.

Basic Properties
The Basic Properties tab establishes the field’s identity and its relationship to the parent object.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Type | Set to List. This enables the inline sub-record management engine. |
| Object | The parent object this field belongs to. |
| Label | The user-facing name, such as “Order Items” or “Task List”. |
| Column Name | Prepopulated from the Label (e.g., related_project_tasks_list). |
| Description | Internal notes explaining the relationship between this list and the parent record. |
Data Type Properties
When the List data type is created, the following configuration views become available in the Data Type Properties section:
- List Field Create View: This allows you to configure the specific Create Form that appears when a user clicks to + add new record to the list.
- List Field List View: This allows you to configure the Display List of the field.
