# Field Settings
Fields must have a type, and some fields (e.g. Person and Organization entities) have subfields which allow you to address specific components of a complex data type.
All fields can be named, and this name (with spaces replaced with underscores, e.g. `Interest_Rate`) can be used to reference the field in the Formula of another field.
If a Formula is specified its result becomes the value.
If desired, a user can override a calculated value that results from a formula by checking the 'Override calculated value' box when viewing the field modal. (Or by simply typing over the field.) While this might be a poor practice for a math calculation (like an interest payment), it is a way to support calculated dates (e.g. first date of employment is second Monday following the date of the employment agreement) that can easily be overridden with specific dates.
The Question is presented when the fields in a document are shared as a questionnaire (for client intake or law firm convenience).
The Description is a place for an even more detailed explanation of the field which is made available in the field modal and on hover when filling in the questionnaire. Both are shown when hovering over a field, empty or not.
Format controls how the data in the field (or subfield) is rendered in the document. Format is the one property of a field that is specific to its instance. (In other words, if you have a field named "Interest Rate" in two places in the document, changing the Question or Description or the value of the field will be replicated everywhere it occurs, but the Format will not. This allows you to use "8%" (Digits) in one place, and "eight percent (8%)" (Word & Digits) in another.
Note that the State subfield (of a Person, Organization, or Address entity) even has formats for variant presentations: 'New York', 'State of New York', and 'state of New York'. That is all part of making it easier to make robust templates that require minimal contextual edits to read correctly.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.alldrafts.com/alldrafts-documentation/fields/field-settings.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
