Field	Description
Edit Options	Select an edit mode for this control. The edit mode of the control, specified here, takes precedence over section and harness settings. Auto - the control uses the edit mode of the section or harness in which it appears. If the section is set to Read Only, then the control is Read Only. If the section is set to Auto, then the control uses the edit mode of the harness. For example, a New harness is editable, while a Review harness is read only. Editable - the control is editable, regardless of the edit mode of the enclosing layout.

Click the Open icon to review or create the rule. A simple expression based on the comparison of a pair of constants, properties, or both, combined by Boolean operators, such as .Color="Red".
