You will need to Create copies of the 2 Tabs (Forms).

Start by creating new Forms and set the Data Type of the Forms to Ticket, this will allow the new forms to be available for your Ticket Main View.
Then, copy your controls and code over to the new forms.

For 'Data Type,' read 'Family' in the above post.

I do mean Data Type, but it is probably called Form Type.
Forms in SLX Can either be Data Bound or Manage.
If they are Data Bound, you have to select the Base table for such form. SLX Includes shortcuts to create Data bound Forms for the Main Entities, but you could create a Bound for for any Table as needed.

To add the New Forms, from the File menu select New Plugin, then Form and then Ticket Form. This ensures that the Form being created is bound to the Ticket Table, and as such associated with the correct Main View when filtered.

After the fact, when Saving it you could place it on the Ticket family if you like, under Personal or under your custom Family (specially if working on an Add-On module), but regardless of the Family it will

Ah, now I get what you meant. It's actually the BaseTable property of the form, which is set at time of creation of a Ticket 'Data Form'.
