Hi

I'm having an issue with GridFields not being displayed when viewing a record in model admin in the "view" context.

When i add a GridField to the object in getCmsFields using the following code, the field is displayed when opening the object in edit mode but when trying to open it in view made i just get the field name as a label with the value "(none)"

$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main',
GridField::create('Events', 'Events', Events::get()->limit(10))
);

Is there a way to have GridFields displayed when the item is opened in view mode?

Thanks

It sounds like you need to setup another method to override the edit form.
You call the method getEditForm and you can call the parent to get the standard form and you can then edit the form see below for a example

        public function getEditForm($id = null, $fields = null) {               
                $form = parent::getEditForm($id, $fields);                      
                                                                               
                // create your Events Gridfield
               // use $form->fields()->replaceField to replace the form field with your field            
                                                               
                                                                                
                return $form;                                                   
        } 

Looks like the issue is caused after getEditForm() but a fix for this issue is here
