User Fields with Different Display Format

The display format of user fields is globally set using the behavior setting named USER_LIST_DISPLAY. This is set to either a value of LIST or POPUP to determine how all user fields on the user input screens will appear.

You can set an Optional Attribute in the data dictionary for any field with a display type of user. This Optional Attribute is also named USER_LIST_DISPLAY. Setting this to either LIST or POPUP will override the behavior setting, giving you control over the way user's input values into each field with a display type of user.
