fields are grayed-out, except the Show if parent equals ... property, the Read only property and
the Display metadata field property.
Behavior of updated fields in SwitchClient
The metadata from the submit dataset is shown as the default value.
SwitchClient users can read and change this data (if allowed). The new value is written to the
check dataset. So technically, this is not a real update from the data but a copy from a field of
one dataset (submit) to another (check). The Switch user can of course use the same name for
the submit and check dataset. In this case the first dataset is overwritten.
If metadata fields are changed or added on a Submit point, the user will probably wish to update
those fields in the Checkpoint too. Switch however does not offer an automatic update mechanism,
so the user has to delete the field and re-import it again.
If users delete a field from a Submit point, they are also responsible for deleting that field from
the Checkpoint metadata list as well. If a user does not remove the deleted field from the
Checkpoint metadata list, then the field is still shown in SwitchClient but the default value will
then be empty.
Defining display-only fields
The property editor for display-only metadata fields allows creating an ordered list of field
definitions (using the buttons under the listbox on the left-hand side). For each field definition,
the property editor allows editing the properties described in the table below (using the edit
fields and controls on the right-hand side).
