# Modifying Existing Application Entity Fields Attributes

Some field attributes, when modified, do not require any additional setup in APM. You simply modify the field's attributes and continue to use the PPM-provided modules and portlets.

Existing field attributes, when modified, that do not require additional setup include:

- Field Prompt. The name of the field.

- Display. Determines if the field is visible on the application entity page.

- Validation Values. A specific list of acceptable input values for the field.

To update the Field Prompt or Display, modify the APM - Application request type or request header type. The section in the application entity in which the field appears determines if you need to modify the request type or request header type. Use Table 2-1. Location of editable fields to determine if you need to modify the request type or request header type.

Table 2-1. Location of editable fields
Application Entity Section | Request Type | Request Header Type
--- | --- | ---
Identity |  | ü
Contacts |  | ü
Business Environment |  | ü
Technical Environment | ü |
Budget & Resources |  | ü
Service & Support |  | ü
Usage & Scale | ü |
Rating | ü |
Score |  | ü

See Demand Management User’s Guide for more information about configuring request types and request header types.

To add, update, or delete Validation Values, modify the appropriate validation.

See Commands, Tokens, and Validations Guide and Reference for more information about configuring validation values.
