Understanding Object Addition

An object must exist within one of your projects before you can work with it. You can add an existing object to a project, or you can create a new object for a project. When you create a new object, the system places it in the current project that you have selected. If you did not select a project before creating the object, the system places it in your default project. Adding an object to a project neither checks out the object nor downloads the specifications of the object to your local environment.

Note: If you try to add an object to a project that already exists in that same project, the Release Search & Select form appears because the system enables you to modify the same object across multiple releases.
