The new data column is created.
5. Click the Edit icon to change the settings of a data column. Make your settings and click Change.
You can change all properties except the type.
6. Click the Copy icon to create a new data column based on the copy of the selected one. You must change at least one property. Make your settings and click Add.
7. Click the Delete icon to delete a data column from the PPM context.

Your settings are applied.
If new data columns are added to the PPM context, they can now be assigned as data source columns. See Assign data columns to PPM context-based components.
