On a page layout, you can only drop the Visualforce page into the details section. Unfortunately you cannot place it in the related list section. See this page for more info.

Hi Jeff.
I understand that we can drop a VF page within a page (eg case detail page) and we can write our own related lists.. but Iam not able to drop this VF page in the related lists section. any ideas?

“When I try to add a relatedList, however, VF insists that the list be a child of Accounts, not Assets. Huh?” So is this related list on the Visualforce page you mention above with the Asset standardController?

If you use your own Visualforce page and a controller extension you should be able to display the documents for the original case. Take a look at the relatedList component and the subject attribute. You should be able to set that attribute to the case id.

Jeff,
This is a pretty old post, but I’m new to VF. I have a page working that shows just the Opportunity Products in a list, and it’s a child page from a list of Cases -> Opportunities -> Opportunity Products.
On that child page of just products, is it also possible to put the “documents” from the original Case object? Or because the controller is “Opportunity” for the page, is that impossible?

Your pages are really helpful!

I was trying to combine several of your postings and create a custom Add page for assets. I have it hooked up to a button, the button in the assets related list under accounts, and I’ve defined my VF page with

apex:page standardController=”Asset” recordSetVar=”assets” tabStyle=”Asset” extensions=”Assets_Override”

When I try to add a relatedList, however, VF insists that the list be a child of Accounts, not Assets. Huh?
