- Field Type - This option defines the type of field that will be displayed. TEXT is a standard single-line entry form, AREA is a multi-line text box, SELECT is a single-selection pull-down menu, MULTI is a multiple-select box, RADIO is a list of radio buttons where only one option can be selected, CHECKBOX is a list of checkboxes where multiple options can be selected, DATE is a year month day calendar popup where the agent can select the date and TIME is a time selection box. The default is TEXT. For the SELECT, MULTI, RADIO and CHECKBOX options you must define the option values below in the Field Options box. DISPLAY will display only and not allow for modification by the agent. SCRIPT will also display only, but you are able to use script variables just like in the Scripts feature. SCRIPT fields will also only display the content in the Options, and not the field name like the DISPLAY type does. HIDDEN will not show the agent the field, but will allow the field to have data imported into it and exported from it, as well as have it available to the script tab and web form address. READONLY will display the value of the data in the field, but will not allow the agent to alter the data. HIDEBLOB is similar to HIDDEN except the data storage type on the database is a BLOB type, suitable for binary data or data that needs to be secured.

For AREA fields, the size is the width of the text box in characters. For MULTI fields, this setting defines the number of options to be shown in the multi select list. For SELECT, RADIO, CHECKBOX, DATE and TIME this setting is ignored.

- Field Max - This setting will mean different things depending on what the field type is. For TEXT, HIDDEN and READONLY fields, the size is the maximum number of characters that are allowed in the field. For AREA fields, this field defines the number of rows of text visible in the text box. For MULTI, SELECT, RADIO, CHECKBOX, DATE and TIME this setting is ignored.

- Field Default - This optional field lets you define what value to assign to a field if nothing is loaded into that field. Default is NULL which disables the default function. For DATE field types, the default is always set to today unless a number is put in in which case the date will be that many days plus or minus today. For TIME field types, the default is always set to the current server time unless a number is put in in which case the time will be that many minutes plus or minus current time.

- Field Cost - This read only field tells you what the cost of this field is in the custom field table for this list. There is no hard limit for the number of custom fields you can have in a list, but the total of the cost of all fields for the list must be below 65000. This typically allows for hundreds of fields, but if you specify several TEXT fields that are hundreds or thousands of characters in length then you may hit this limit quickly. If you need that much text in a field you should choose an AREA type, which are stored differently and do not use as much table space.

UPDATE will update the common field_label fields in the destination list to the field definitions from the source list. custom field data may be modified or lost using this option. REPLACE will remove all existing custom fields in the destination list and replace them with the custom fields from the source list, all custom field data will be deleted using this option.
