Error 'The related list cannot be displayed because it is not in the current page layout' in Related List Single Component in App Builder

Publish Date: Apr 3, 2026
Description
  • After adding a related list in page layout, and added it as a Related List Single on the Lightning App Builder, the component is showing Error 'The related list cannot be displayed because it is not in the current page layout'.
  • For example, an admin adds an Opportunities related list to Account layout then adds a Related List Single component in App Builder — users see the error because the Lookup field lacks profile visibility.
  • Issue is reproducible only in Lightning Experience user interface 
Resolution


Check the lookup field's Field-Level Security associated with the related list. Add visibility of your profile OR the affected profile to the Lookup field.

                  3. Click Fields 
                  4. Look for the Lookup field and open it by clicking its name
                  5. Click the Set-Field Level Security button
                  6. Put a tick mark under 'Visible' column on the Profile needing access to the Related List 
                  7. Click Save.


Steps (Lightning Experience)

 

  1. Navigate to Setup | Object Manager
  2. Click the object affected containing the lookup field
  3. Click Fields & Relationships
  4. Open the Lookup Field 
  5. Click Set Field-Level Security button
