You can apply more than one option to most fields. For example, you can format a field as a price, then define a prompt for the field.

Also, you cannot use certain options together on a field. For example, you cannot increment a price field. These limitations will be noted with each option.

NOTE: Due to more rigid syntax checks, be aware that data streams that run successfully with older versions of the software may now produce errors on the field options.
