It is possible to change the properties for many fields at one time. To change the properties for all fields in your application, select Field Properties from the Options menu. Alternatively, select multiple fields on a form and then right-click on a field and select Properties, or press Alt+Enter.

The selected attributes will only apply to fields that support the options. For example, if Upper Case is selected, that option will be ignored for numeric fields and will be applied only to alpha fields. Selecting <no change> means that that setting will be ignored when applying the new properties.

The Data Capture Type options allow you to change the type of capture type used for the field. It will list the union of valid possibilities for the selected fields, but if a change is requested it will apply the change only to fields that can support the specified type. For example, selecting Check Box will only apply that option to alphanumeric fields that can support checkboxes. The capture type of fields that do not support the selected type will remain unchanged. If you would like to set the capture type to the default based on the field's item and value set properties, select <default for field>.

If you selected multiple fields on a form to bring up this dialog but would like to apply the changes to all the fields in your application, select the Apply to all fields option.
