Add Field - Configuration Manager

Question

Hi all,
I add a field to the checkin menu with Configuration Manager.
My name field is Local.
Then I tried to override this field but instead of it the Content Server add a new field to the checkin menu with the same name:
<@dynamichtml std_document_file_fields@>
<$include std_namevalue_separator$>
<$fieldName = "xLocal", fieldCaption = lc("Local"), valueStyle = "strongHighlight",
isRequired = "1", requiredMsg = getRequiredMsg(fieldName, lc("wwSpecifyComments"))$>
<$fieldDefault = "Insert a local"$>
<$include std_display_field$>
<$include super.std_document_file_fields$>
<@end@>
How can I override this field instead of create a new one with the same name?

Answer 1

Ok, so you DO see the field you created, but you want to change where it appears in the check in page. Have you looked at playing with the order column in configuration manager (this may be what you meant in your former post). This would allow you to get your field up towards the top, but only as close as the primay file field.
Past that, you CAN do some things to get it EXACTLY where you want but your next step would be to start looking into profiles pretty heavy. There is a lot of documentation out there on profiles.
In the screenshots here:

You can see that I have placed a field named Sub Type up under regular Type. This takes some messing around, but I did it with profiles. The exact steps are a little longer than I can put down just now. :(
Maybe this will be explained more in the coming post at CMSTechie:
