Procedure
-

to your needs.
For a numeric type attribute, you can adjust the number in a small range to add one or subtract one by clicking the spin button on the right.
For a date or dateTime type attribute, you can set its value by using the datetime picker.
If the entity has a foreign key link to another entity, and if you have the add access to the corresponding foreign key attribute, an Add foreign records button will be displayed under the name of the foreign key attribute for configuring the foreign key information. In this example, the entity product is linked to a specific entity Store.
To add a foreign key value, click Add foreign records for the foreign key attribute Store, from the dialog box displayed, select the check box next to each foreign key value that needs to be linked to the record, and click the VALIDATE button to save your changes.
If required, you can click on the header of a column in the dialog box to sort the foreign records based on that column or enter the value in the Search text box to narrow down the foreign key values.
Information noteNote: If the maximum number of occurrences of the foreign key element has been reached, the newly selected foreign key will not be associated with the data record.If you have the remove access to the foreign key attribute, a Remove record button is displayed on the first cell of a foreign record when you hover over the row, and you can click the button to remove the corresponding foreign key value.
Information noteNote: Removing a foreign key value does not delete any real data, it only removes the link between data records in two entities.
