# Document upload fields

The Document upload fields sub-tab configures the default value, visibility, and read-only state of the fields shown to users when uploading a document to a case.

Unlike [Document columns](/configuration-guides/cases/zgw/document-columns.md), the list of upload fields is fixed — fields cannot be added or removed, only edited. Each field corresponds to a Documenten API document property, such as **Title**, **Language**, or **Status**.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

The list shows every upload field with its configured **Default value**, **Visible**, and **Readonly** state.

{% hint style="info" %}
Document upload fields apply to the case definition as a whole. Changes affect every version of the case, not just the version currently selected.
{% endhint %}

| Property      | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Default value | Pre-filled value for this field on the upload form. The input type depends on the field — for example, a language or document status picker, or a plain text input. Fields such as creation date have no default value option. |
| Visible       | Whether the field appears on the upload form                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| Readonly      | Whether users can change the field's value on the upload form                                                                                                                                                                  |

Click **Save** to apply changes.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Information object type** field can always be edited, regardless of whether the case definition version is a draft.
