Description

Property name

Specifies the name of the custom column property.

Data type

Specifies the data type of the property.

Description

Optional. A description of the intended use of the property.

Default value

Shows the default value of the property. If the value is cleared (set to empty) for a specific column then that column property will automatically revert to use the default value.

Note: The only thing you can change using Edit Property is the value of the selected column, the default value and the description. If other settings are wrong, you need to delete the custom property and create a new one instead.
