Apologies if this question has been raised and answered already (I searched the forum to no avail). When creating a detail view, using the "Boundary" option for "Label on Parent", is there a way to have the Detail Letter (ie: "A" or "B" etc) appear on the dotted-line view boundary rectangle that appears on the parent view? (ie: similar to the behavior of the "Embedded", "Label", or "Note" options for the "Label on Parent".)

Thank you.

An addendum; a possible workaround is to create a custom Note, using Text Input > Categories > Relationships > Object Attributes, select VWLETTER, and an associative leader to the rectangular Boundary.

I'm not sure if this is the best practice, but it does the job of indicating which Detail View Letter corresponds to the rectangular boundary.
 
Rectangular Detailed views are actually non-standard and therefore are not as fully supported as are the more universally supported circular detailed view.
