Our Sales reps often use the related lists to get 360 views of the customer portfolio. For example, In a Household, a financial advisor will look into related financial accounts to determine customers’ investment details.
Salesforce allows us to configure these related lists via Lightning App Builder. At the same time, these linked lists are static. For example, what if my sales rep only wants to see open quotes on opportunities under Quotes related list. Until the Sping’22 release, it was not possible with the following approach:
- Use Lightning Web Component to create a dynamic related list
- Use AppExchange App
With the Summer’22 release, salesforce makes it easier for us to make related lists dynamic by using Dynamic Related List – Single component.
Dynamic Related List – Single component has the following features which differentiate it from the static related list component:
- Define Related List Label
- Configure Number of Records to Display
- Show/hide List View Action Bar
- Define Related List Filters
- Configure Actions
- Set Component Visibility
As of the Summer’22 release, Dynamic Related List is only supported on Desktop. With Dynamic Form and Dynamic Action Bar, Salesforce adds game-changer features for its customers.
Let’s start with a real-time use case.
Use Case
Sara Smith, a Salesforce Administrator, has received a requirement from her boss to adjust the Account page layout to do the following:

I would love to hear about your experience with the Dynamic Related list. How do you use it?
Hi Meenakshi,
Thanks for this article. We wanted to use the ” Dynamic Related list -Single ” on the Asset Object, where we wanted to see only active Entitlements. But this object Entitlements is not available on the edit page of Asset under list of related objects.
