What happens when I reuse a study object with a data-entry rule?

The rule is also reused, because rules are part of study objects.

• When a rule is part of a study object template or type, the rule is automatically part of all study objects created from the template or type.
• When a rule is part of a study object and the study object is copied into another project, the rule is copied with the study object.
• For valid data-entry rules, if you modify the RefName of a study object referenced by the rule, the data-entry rule is automatically updated with the change.

Tip:

If you modify the RefName of a study object from within the rule expression, the study object is not updated in rules that reference the study object.
