Change field content

List Fields let you change the field content directly within the field list in the Field List Area! If the field type of a record is one of the following ...

..you can edit the data directly in the list. You can enter whatever you want as new field content and List Fields will attempt to save it as the specified field type.

Important note about editing lists! When you edit lists, note that List Fields uses the triple dots (···) as a list separator. If you select to edit the values directly in the list-lines, you must copy these dots your self. It is much easier to use the built-in list editor.

No strict field content checking! Note that List Fields doesn't enforce strict field content checking. This means that you can enter text in number fields, and numbers in date fields. It is eventually up to Lotus Notes whether to accept a change or not. If you have save errors, you will see the Save Error Report.
