Considerations

• These optional formatting elements are not displayed in the Fields tab of Objects
• These optional formatting elements are not available in a Grid Section
• Field Scripting is not available
• If any of the optional formatting elements are deleted from the Form Layout, it is deleted permanently
• Layout Rules are not available
• When only the left column of the Form Layout is populated and the right column is empty, all format element types (Fields, Spacer, Horizontal Line and Label) will span the full column width
