    For information about individual settings, see Creating a Field Type.

  4. Click Apply to save your settings without closing the window.
  5. Click OK to save your settings and close the window.

You must publish the batch class before your changes are applied to batches. Your changes cannot be applied to batches created before the new publication date.

Important No warning appears if the field type you try to edit is already being used. In this case, it is possible to edit the field type in such a way to cause validation errors during processing. To avoid this problem, remove all index and batch fields associated with the field type before you edit the field type. Then, you can edit your field type, add the index fields and/or batch fields back into your document class and/or batch class, and republish the batch class.
