> ## Setting a property at the master level

> You set a master property with the Repository Maintenance tool.

> | To set a property for a `DataField` to apply to all uses of that field:

> 1. Open the Repository Object Maintenance tool from the Build menu and enter the field name, which is always qualified by the database table name it is derived from, as shown:

> 2. Expand the objects node for the field in the tree view, then the field node itself, and then the Attributes node. Here you see all the properties for the `DataField` that are predefined.

> 3. Select the Label attribute.

> 4. Select the Modify button in the Maintenance frame, and set its value to Customer Number by typing in the Attribute Value field.

> When you run any container with the `CustNum` field in it, such as the window you are building now, it reflects this change, unless the `CustNum` value has explicitly been set in the viewer or the container window.
