- Always Display: Field will be exposed both before and after the record is saved.
- Hide on New Record: Field will be hidden until record is saved.
- Only Show on New Record: Field will be exposed until record is saved, and then it will be hidden. This option is useful for fields that provide instructions for filling out forms before saving.

Special Options for Field
Values: The values to be used within the combo box, delimited by semi-colons with no spaces.
The first value listed will be the default value when a new record is created.
Note: If you want the value stored in the field to be different from what is displayed in the combo box you can use the following syntax in the Values section:
StoreValue1=DisplayValue1;StoreValue2=DisplayValue2;StoreValue3=DisplayValue3;
The value before the equal sign will be stored. The value after the equal sign is what will be displayed in the combo box, but does not get saved.
- This technique is important when translating to other languages. The StoreValue must be the same in all languages. See here for further information.
