Use the child list editor to edit a list of child objects. The behavior of the child list editor instance depends on the type of child objects that are being managed. If you are editing a list of plain child objects (wcfChildObjectDefinition), the child list editor includes a new icon and delete icon. It can also be configured to include the edit column icon () to open the Edit Column dialog to edit several cells in the same column at once with the same value.

If the child list editor is displayed as a navigation list, the add and delete icons, as well as the Find and Add button do not appear.
