Shows Inline custom field when adding and editing when disabled in CLM #118

When adding or editing a contact custom fields that are defined as Inline are shown - when not chosen in CLM (those ones that you can find in Blocks). If I change Inline to Tab and I disable this field group in CLM, it is not shown.

The layout editor isn't really intended to affect the Edit form. Is your issue that you would like to modify the contact edit form?

Thank you for your reply! I see, this was not clear to me :) But then I am still wondering why it works when I have those fields in a Tab? So it seems to me that it affects the edit form already. I think it would be a great idea to modify the contact edit form as well since I could imagine that many users also think that it does not show those fields in the edit form. It would be also possible to use ACLs but I personally find the CLM is more convenient (:

I think the solution we are working toward for this is to rebuild the contact edit form using Form Builder so that it can be reconfigured by site builders.
