The Add List Item dialog box opens.

3. Enter a name to display in the list.

4. Select a Style to change how the value is displayed in Helix ALM Client list windows and Helix ALM Web item lists, such as the Issues list.

The Style list includes all styles available in the project. Select <default> to display the value without formatting. You may also be able to add a new style or work with all styles. See Adding field value styles and Configuring field value styles.
