If several fields on a form are selected, the Property Inspector displays only properties that are common to the selected fields. (To select multiple fields, hold down the Shift key and click the desired fields in succession.)

For example, because all fields except line segments have the BgColor property, the Property Inspector almost always displays BgColor. However, not all fields have the LineColor and OutlineColor properties. Shape fields have LineColor, whereas active fields have OutlineColor.

The Currently Selected Field drop-down menu at the top of the Property Inspector indicates that multiple fields are selected. When multiple fields are selected, the Property Inspector shows the value of a common property only if the value is the same for all of the selected fields.
