To Add a Field to a Property Set Definition

Use this procedure to add a field to a property set definition. Fields contain updatable values or hyperlinks, and are selected from a list.

You can create a manual property as a placeholder for a field. In that case, you enter the field in the property once it is attached to an object or style. If you enter a field as a default value for a manual property in the definition, all objects or styles that have the property attached already contain the field.
