Gold star, Kevin, it looks to me as if you have uncovered a bug. The
development people watch this list, so I'll ask them to confirm.
The source code field in the portal in the action history list
(Action layout in the names file) is defined through the relationship
All Payments For Name. Seems to me it should be through the
relationship Actions.

Yes, you can place the issue2 field on that layout in place of the
issue1 field.
Here's how to fix both of these problems.
- From the home screen, click the Actions tab.You'll jump to the
action history layout.
- go to layout mode.
- You'll see a large portal; one line has fields and 12 are gray.
Click on the white line.
- you will have selected a transparent button (when in browse mode
this jumps you to the action file at that record). You need to move
this out of the way. Use the arrow key up 12 pixels - this way you'll
know where it is and can replace it exactly.
- double click on the source code field. You 'll see a list of
fields, at the top of which is the relationship, All Payments For
Name. Pull this down and select Actions.
- Select the field source code, and OK
- now doubleclick the issue1 field
- select the issue2 field from the list and OK
Note that issue2 will always display, not just when you have selected
it in the action file.
