Specify field values

A data field displayed on a work item page can be informational only or can allow you to change the value of the field. Check the instructions on the work item page for information about using the field values. See Working with attachments, data fields, and workflow groups for information about the effects of security settings on these items in a work item. See About workflow fields for general information on data fields and other field types.

To specify values of a data field

  1. In the open work item, display the list of data fields.
  2. Select the field name in the list.
  3. Double-click in the Value field and enter the value that corresponds to the data type.

    If the field represents a collection of values (an array), you can add and remove field values in the array. See Edit array fields.

   

TIP The current value of a data field can be blank under the following circumstances:

  • The data field is a string and there is no current value (data fields of any other type display a default value if no value has been assigned).
  • You have Write access to the field, which means you can enter a value but you cannot see the current value.
