Automatic Formating for Custom Forms
I’m in Phone list view and trying to use the Automatic Formatting feature on
a custom form using conditions for text in the new/custom fields and the formatting is not working. Does it work with custom forms? Here’s what I’m doing: () Conditions, Advanced Field, chose my custom form (RM Business Contacts) Select Field, is or contains, value – add to list Change font (grey, strikethrough for this example) And save changes – nothing. (Made sure the box is checked. However, for change the color to say Bold Red and all contacts turn, even if selected field isn’t on form (have multiple forms in my contacts for now). I even changed the main form to pull is the RM Business Contacts. Please help, been working on this for weeks! Thanks! CMH

Automatic Formating for Custom Forms
To use a custom field in an automatic formatting "rule" for a folder view, the field must be defined in the folder, not just in the form or items. In other words, if you don't see it under User-defined Fields in Folder, you must create a new field in the folder with the same name and data type as the field in the form.
