Modify a custom field

You can modify custom fields in ChartHop by editing the type of information they contain, cloning them with their current options, or deleting them. 

You can edit a custom field if you have just added it and need to change its settings. You can only edit custom fields that you have created, not built-in fields that come with ChartHop.

To edit a custom field:

1. From the left sidebar, select the Settings (gear) menu and choose Fields.
2. From the row menu (⋮) next to the field to edit, select Edit.
3. In the Edit custom field dialog, make any needed changes.
4. Select Save to finish editing the field. 

You can clone any field in ChartHop from the Fields page. When you clone a field, you create a new custom field that starts with settings you want to copy. For example, when working with fields that contain Carrot expressions, you could clone a similar field and then edit the expression to reflect what you want to do. 

To clone a custom field: 

1. From the left sidebar, select the Settings (gear) menu and choose Fields.
2. From the row menu (⋮) next to the field to edit, select Clone.
3. In the Clone field dialog that appears, rename the field and make any other changes.
4. Select Save to finish cloning the field.

When necessary, you can delete custom fields—for example, if you have created a field in error.

To delete a field: 

1. From the left sidebar, select the Settings (gear) menu and choose Fields.
2. From the row menu (⋮) next to the field to delete, select Delete.
3. In the Delete field dialog, enter the field name. 
4. Select Delete to finish deleting the field.
