Hi Aravindlive, The users wanted to see teh Issue ID of the current item while they are editing item and that's why I added the CEWP here. Is there any other way I could show them the Issue ID? many thanks, Anu

Either you should build a custom field control to show any information in this screen or you should write a complete custom page for Newform.aspx and Editform.aspx.Aravind http://aravindrises.blogspot.com
