When updating a field which is referred to by at least one other field, a list of the referencing fields is displayed for you to confirm that they are also to be updated. This confirmation is only displayed when one of the values which are inherited by the referencing field is changed. For example, if only the field description is changed the confirmation display would not appear.

  • Use the Enter key to update the current field and all its referencing fields as shown in the list.
  • Use the F12 Cancel key to redisplay the current field without updating the current field or its referencing fields.
