Editing Formatters
Editing Default Formatters
Tip
It's recommended to edit a duplicate of a default formatter instead of the original. This way, you can test your changes without overriding any of the default settings.
To edit the properties of a default formatter, follow these steps:
Click the drop-down arrow next to the name of the formatter you want to edit to reveal its properties.
Click the ellipsis next to the name of the formatter.
Click "Override" to unlock the default formatter for editing and make your changes as needed. Any changes will immediately be reflected in any widgets using the formatter.
Optional: To edit the formatter in CDL, click on the ellipsis next to the formatter name and select "Go to code". This will open the CDL panel at the formatter's code line. To learn more, visit: Formatters in CDL.
Editing User Created Formatters
To edit the properties of a user created formatter, follow these steps:
Click the drop-down arrow next to the name of the formatter you want to edit to reveal its properties.
Make your changes as needed. Any changes will immediately be reflected in any widgets using the formatter.
