Each field card may contain a single field or several fields. Fields display the value of a line item, and each field is editable independently.
If you select, or enter, an invalid list item, you'll receive the message "The value entered is not valid."
Link and email fields
Link and email fields contain hyperlinked text. You cannot edit link and email fields using the field card. However, if you edit link and email data in the grid, the data in any field that displays that value updates too.
