Notes

The "Edit" option for custom table fields allow renaming of fields, hiding fields from account administrators, saving a default merge value, and the ability to save a picklist of values to the field. Edit DOES NOT include the ability to change the format of a field. If the field was created as a Number field, it will stay in that format. You may choose to create a brand new field for the custom table as needed.
