Working With Fields

Most field properties are defined in SBM Composer and those properties are inherited from workflows and parent projects. You can, however, override certain field properties:

Project Field Overrides (Projects)
Changes made to default fields apply to the project and all sub-projects, unless you further override properties for a sub-project or a transition in a project.
Transition Field Overrides
Changes made to fields for a specific transition apply to the transition for the project and all sub-projects, unless you further override the transition field in a sub-project.
Workflow Field Overrides
Set default values for User, Multi-User, and Multi-Group fields, if overrides were enabled for the fields in SBM Composer. These values can then be overridden in sub-workflows and projects. For details, refer to Setting Default Values for User-type Fields.

For default fields and transition fields in projects, you can:

Move fields to a different section or reorder them in an existing section. For details, refer to Reordering Fields.
Override common field attributes. For details, refer to Overriding Common Field Attributes.
Override default values.
Override display options (except Binary/Trinary, Date/Time, Numeric, and Text fields). For details, refer to Overriding Display Options for Selection Fields.

For default fields in projects only, you can:

Set dependent User, Multi-User, or Multi-Group field selections for independent User fields. For details, refer to Configuring User Field Dependencies.
Override dependent field selections for independent Single Selection fields. For details, refer to Overriding Dependent Selections for Single Selection Fields in Projects.

For transition fields only, you can override calculations for Date/Time and Numeric fields. For details, refer to Calculating Values for Date/Time and Numeric Fields.
