Editing field configurations for a single feature class

While there are often fields that are displayed the same way across feature classes, you may also need to customize fields differently for some feature classes or subtypes. When you edit the configurations individually, the settings for the field are only applied to a single feature class or subtype. This method would mostly be used if your data does not contain a lot of feature classes or a field that requires different settings for individual feature classes. For instance, you may need to set the ZV2 as a required field for contours, but it could be optional for building points.

The attribute fields are managed on the Field Configuration dialog box, where all the tables that can be edited are listed. Field configurations can only be edited on an attribute-by-attribute basis, and the configuration only applies to the single attribute field that has been modified. The configurations cannot be transferred to other field attributes in other feature classes.
