Apparently a field enabled to show the online status of a “name” only works in read mode. Is this true?
Also the chat window doesn’t render the group names of the field marked with a Contact List Group name when the field is in edit mode or hidden.
Would be great if I could render the online status of a computed field in Edit Mode since that’s when most of my collaboration needs to take place…when editing a document. 
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
