Some forms have a list layout with hierarchy. On these forms, not all lines in the list have the same level in the hierarchy. Subordinate lines may be indented, or may be grouped so that you can expand and collapse the group. If you want to transform a form with a hierarchical list and with expand and collapse functionality, you must modify the C/AL code in the OnOpenForm trigger so that all the lines are expanded. The RoleTailored client must have all lines expanded so access is available to all lines to determine which lines to indent and by how much. If you do not modify the code, the transformed page will not work correctly.

Some examples of forms in the standard application that have hierarchical lists and have expand and collapse functionality are the following:
