Form not opening as Grid from notification

Hello and thank you for reading.

I have set a Workflow on D365 Finance & Operations.

When a user gets a notification on the action center and clicks on "View" to see the work items:

my form opens but the Grid is not visible :

The user can only see it if they click on the title "Approval monitoring", then the grid appears :

How can I get the form to open with the grid visible ?

Is it a problem with the notification or the form ? The design of the form is "Details Transactions".

The Display menu item calling this has "Form view option" set to "Grid", when I call that manu item directly I get the grid directly.

I tried to set "Form view option" in code in the init() method of the form, but it doesn't work, it doesn't change it to Grid :

formVOption is still "Auto".

Thanks for helping me.

Are you sure you are calling the "setViewOption" method?

It's used by BankAutomationStatementForm, so I expect it to work.

If you really want to fix this, you need to use another form pattern, since you don't have fields in the details group.

Please consider changing your form to use this pattern: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/user-interface/simple-list-form-pattern

Thanks for your reply,

I got it working in the end.

I added this code to the run() method instead of the init, after the super() :

public void run()
{

super();

if (element.viewOptionHelper().getViewOption() != FormViewOption::Grid)
{
element.viewOptionHelper().setViewOption(FormViewOption::Grid);
}

}
