This  This screen may be "pre-filled" with information. This occurs when:

  • another field has been "copied" using options on the first screen.
  • you are creating more than one field. Most input fields retain the values used to create the previous field.
  • the new field has either been "copied" or refers to another field. The Extended Options action box will be displayed. This will allow you to select certain copy options. For example, if the option to copy help text is selected, all the help text for the copied or referenced field will be copied to the help text for the new field.
