# Example: Customizing a Defects Module Dialog Box

This example shows how you can customize the field layout and other field properties in the Add Defect dialog box. You can create similar code to arrange the layout of the Defect Details dialog box.

This example illustrates a solution that customizes field properties for all user groups. You can also use the script generators to customize the layout of the Defects module dialog boxes. If you use the script generators, you must perform customization separately for each user group.

This example involves the following procedures:

- `SetFieldApp` is a general purpose procedure that receives a field name and its properties as parameters, and assigns the properties to the field. See SetFieldApp.

- `FieldCust_AddDefect` calls `SetFieldApp` for each field in the Add Defects dialog box, to set the properties of the field. For some of the fields, `FieldCust_AddDefect` checks the user group to which the current user belongs, and customizes the field properties accordingly. A call to `FieldCust_AddDefect` is placed in the `Bug_New` event procedure. See FieldCust_AddDefect.

Note: To implement this example, you can run the Add Defect Field Customization script generator and then modify the resulting scripts.

- Rename the generated function `WizardFieldCust_Add` to `FieldCust_AddDefect` and modify it as necessary. (Before you modify a generated script, you must rename it so that it is not overwritten the next time you run the script generator.)
- The script generator places a call to `WizardFieldCust_Add` in the event procedure `Bug_New.`Change this to`FieldCust_AddDefect.`
- The function SetFieldApp is generated when you run the script generator. You do not need to rename or modify this function.
