When working with field rules and triggers the first screen always displays all the rules and triggers that currently exist for the chosen field.

Remember that only the DICTIONARY LEVEL rules and triggers are displayed when working at the dictionary level. Other rules and triggers may exist at the FILE or PROCESS level, but these are not displayed.
