Edit the fields as appropriate; the information entered can only reflect the value types that have been defined by the tag's Tagged Value Type.
There are six types of value field for a Tagged Value:
- 'Open' fields, in which you can type any appropriate value
- Structured Tags, where you do not directly edit the composite value but expand the tag to show the component tags and edit the component values in 'open' fields; the composite value updates as you click off the component field
- 'Drop-down list' fields, where you click on the drop-down arrow to select from a discrete list of possible values such as 'M' or 'F', or 'Win', 'Lose' or 'Draw'
- 'Spin' fields, where you click on up or down arrows in the field to increase or decrease the value within certain limits
- Checklist fields, where you click on the button in the field to display the 'Check List' dialog, which lists a set of items that can be selected by ticking the checkbox against each item; if any checkboxes are not selected the value of the tag is 'Incomplete', and when all checkboxes are selected the tag value is 'Complete'
- 'Further detail' fields, where you click on the button in the field to display a dialog in which you enter information (such as notes) or indicate a source of further information (such as a classifier)

Notes
- To override a Tagged Value defined in a parent element, edit the value in the from <parentname> compartment of the Tagged Values window
Once this has been done the tag is moved into the selected element's Tagged Values; this does not affect the Tagged Values defined in the parent element
