3. Advanced Custom fields to not support Overlay Edit (edit as a realted module)

Rich Text field and upload field created through advance custom field cannot be edit in overlay edit (edit as a realted module entry)

Question

When a user try to edit a related record advance custom field (Using overlay edit options) specifically (upload and RTF field) it malfucntions?

Answer

Advance custom field does not support the overlay edit options. That is why when a user try to edit RTF or custom upload field through layover edit options, these fields appear as a text field instead of upload or RTF field

Example

Lets take example to further clarify this issue

Contacts have two custom fields by the name of Upload image 2 which is a custom upload field and RTF test which is a rich text field

Custom upload and RTF field are highlighted

Now, lets access and try to edit them from organization module's over lay edit option

Go to organzation and access the contacts from there

Accessing contacts through organzation module's overlay

Open a contact through organization's overlay view and try to edit it

Edit a contact thourgh organizations overlay view

RTF and upload fields appear as simple text field in overlay edit option
