Detailed Description

When you configure MDF permissions using Manage Permission Roles, you can now see both labels and external codes for MDF permissions. External codes are configured in the object definition. We made the enhancement to help you better differentiate MDF permissions for multiple fields with identical labels. Unique external codes ensure you select the correct field.
