Set or change Field Properties

[Craig_Eissler_Iceman]

Hello,

For some reason I cant seem to find where to set or change Field Properties (...I recall how to in ArcMap). I'm in Field Design and thinking this has got to be real easy, but I'm just overlooking it. 

For instance, I'd like to specify a specific 'scale' and 'precision' for my decimal values.

Note:
Field precision and scale are not supported in a file geodatabase feature class or table. If you enter a value for precision or scale, it will be ignored.

For other databases see below the note.

Ah, OK -- you actually have to specifically click on the far right side of that cell ...I knew it was something silly.

Thanks!

or double click if you don't see the little ...

ooops, maybe I spoke too soon.

I reduced the number of decimal places from 6 to 2. But, when I go to "label" this field, 12 decimal places display! ...What am I missing?

probably under label properties

[Craig_Eissler_Iceman]

I don't see anything called Label Properties per se'.

There are Text Symbol options, which opens the Label Class pane, with all kinds of options and properties (and may be what you're referring to), but I don't see anything there either. ...I could be overlooking it though?

OK, I had another colleague let me know that you if you go into the Label Class pane > Label expression and change the Language from Arcade to VBScript it will now read the values directly from the Field as they are formatted there!
