Editing Property Definitions

If a property definition is modified from a Defined property type to a non-editable type such as Derived or Lookup, then the following conditions apply:

• The confirmation message when switching to a non-stored property type is modified to state that pending updates to change request items may be affected.

• Pending property updates for in-flight requests are no longer displayed, validated or committed for items with that task assigned.

To edit a property definition:

1. On the Home page, select Administer.
2. Under Metadata, expand Property Definitions.
3. Expand Core or Custom depending on the type of property definition.
4. Double-click a property.
5. Modify any parameters that can be edited.

   Caution:

   If you change the Property Type from a defined value (RWDerived or Defined) to a value that does not allow storage (Derived or Lookup), defined property values are deleted and this data will be lost. Before making this type of change, you must confirm that the potential for data loss is acceptable.

   For more information see Creating Properties.
