Display Attributes

Determine where the field is displayed in the default form, and whether or not the field is required when adding or updating a record.

Default Value

In general, the default value you specify will be a simple String. For example: 'rush'. But it is also possible to select functions and specify arguments, creating a formula expression that returns the default value.

Considerations
  • The default value must resolve to the value of an entry in the list of enumerated items (not a label).
  • If the value resolves to a string which is not in the list of the enumerated items, it is as though no default were specified. Nothing is pre-selected in the Enumerated Field.
  • Field Visibility determines which roles can see or edit the field.

Description Information

Include a description of the field and its use. This information is only visible to users with rights to customize this field.
