I think in the create field instead of certain component you have used the screen itseems.. here what is the meaning of jobstatus(screen?)

If so then you are wrong. It should be certain component say VSA/VA/HSA/HA/any View

Yes, please tell us what is jobstatus Is this is your screen name? if yes then this is problem you can only create a component in a arrangement

So yes, @Studio_WHY, you will have to use a separate arrangement.

Yes, as i mentioned that jobstatus is the current screen (not only the name of the screen). I dragged it when i click on the screen on left. I need to create the component in this screen, not a particular layout of the screen. From the responses, it seems that i have to define a full screen vertical arrangement for it. I will give it a try

Changing jobstatus to a static vertical arrangement worked. Thanks to you all!

Remember with extension you can not create any component directly on screen because extension developer need to control Form for that and that is not possible
