Q1: Why some of capability sets displayed in list view but not in collection view?

A: We display only those capability sets in collection view which have domain/cluster assigned. We don’t list those capability sets which don’t have any cluster. That’s why newly added capability sets will not be displayed in collection view. You need add collection record first for those capability sets.

Q2: Why extended attributes grid not displays along with core attributes form?

A: We display extended attributes grid only when there are attributes defined for capability sets.

Q3: Why when selecting domain or cluster and try to select some options from second panel, it is showing ‘Not Applicable’ message?

A: some of information items are configured only for capability sets and they can’t have any information for domains and clusters. So, we are showing ‘Not Applicable’ message for domains and cluster.
