Difference between "Prop." and "Field"

Property status

Properties have a status that is indicated by the drop-down menu next to the value. The status of a property can be one of two: Prop. or Field.

  • “Prop.” stands for “Property” and is the default status. The value of a property with this status can be either static (e.g. x=1 or Font=Helvetica) or a dynamic expression (using other sub-properties and variables as arguments).
  • "Field" stands for "Connected to an input field". This status allows you to connect a property with an input field. The value of a property with this status is controlled by the input field it is connected to. For example you can connect the text-content property with a text-input field to give a user the option to change the text in a template.

Did you know?

You can quickly edit the value of most properties by moving your cursor to the space between the property status (left) and the displayed value (right). By dragging your cursor to the left (lower value) or right (higher value), you can edit the value without typing.
