Hi,

I want some fields always be displayed on View page of a record (action=view) whether those fields have been set values or not.

What may be the solution?

The default view page (as you noticed) only shows fields that have a value. Unfortunately there isn’t currently a directive to override this. A workaround would be to implement the fieldname__htmlValue() method in the delegate class to return some string value. As long as this is nonempty, the value will be displayed.
