Subject - Add/Edit
Note: For portals with multiple languages, all subjects that are not translated into a user's display language are visible to the user in the subject's default language. It is a recommended best practice to create each subject in one default language, and then translate the subject into the other available languages in your portal. This ensures that a subject available in a user's display language appears for the user in their language.
