Can we change the number of records to display in Enhanced List
Hello Sudipti,
Yes, we can change the number of records to display in the Enhanced List. We can view 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 records in the enhanced related list. You need to put the value in the “Number of Records to Display” setting.
Very good job writing them in this blog post

Hi Arun.
Thank you for this blog, very helpful. I wonder I tap into our expertise.
I have been tasked to update all the Related List to ‘Enhanced Related List’. In my company we have many Objects and many Lightning Pages. Do you know of any approaches on how I can mass update to Enhanced Related List them as rather than updating one page at a time?
I am investigating how to do this via VS Code by retrieving and possibly updating the relevant meta data. So far I can see metadata component for Page Layout, but not Lightning Record Pages.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Kevin
any chance the ability to perform mass actions or to use List View Controls is working for you?
The enhanced related list is not working for community users. can you please help me on this.
How do we change what columns are showing as represented in your last screen shot.
You can add or remove the column from the parent object layout.
For example, go to Account layout and click on the wrench icon for the Contacts-related list and add/remove the column as per your choice.
Is it possible to remove the original related list and display the enhanced version only? In your example this would be the small “Contacts(3)” related list that appears in the right hand sidebar.
