You also have the option of adding a sub-grid to quick view forms. This gives you a chance to display yet another entity in the form. For example, here's how you would add a sub-grid that displays related contacts on the account:

Once I inserted Quick view Form, how to get rid of it.. Since I don't see it on Entity Form. Also I can not go to form list of Reference Entity and delete it
Any Idea?

Clearly it "should" but does it? I ask because I have a scenario where this is not working as expected.
Let me know - Thanks - MC.
Is the data in the quick view form editable? Meaning if I'm on the case screen can I update account information directly from the case screen?

Is it possible to have a quick view form for the owner. I have failed multiple times while doing doing so.
I have now resorted to duplicating data on my entity. Any suggestion?
