Some editing behaviors:
| • | If a String property accepts only Groovy script (such as the Field property "Value Rule"), the property is not editable in the input field (even though the script is shown). To edit, open the Groovy script editor using the icon next to the input field. |
| • | If a String property accepts both Groovy script and text entered into the input field, the property is editable in the input field. You can also edit the Groovy script in the Groovy script editor using the icon next to the input field. Adding a script using the icon and script editor clears the value in the input field. Editing the value in the input field clears the script in the script editor. |
| • | If a String property accepts Groovy script, text, and long string, you can edit the input field as well edit the long string by clicking the ellipsis next to the field to. You can also open the Groovy script editor. Adding a Groovy script clears the string and editing the string clears the Groovy script. |
