A warning message will appear, click OK. The modified Custom Field has been saved.

5. Make the changes and click Finish.

6. Click OK.

7. If the Custom Field lives in more than one project, you will see a list of the projects. Highlight the project or projects you want to save the modified Custom Field into and click OK.
