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, 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.

Document upload fields list

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

Document upload fields apply to the case definition as a whole. Changes affect every version of the case, not just the version currently selected.

Editing a field

Click a row, or use its overflow menu (⋮), to edit a field:

Edit upload field modal

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.

The Information object type field can always be edited, regardless of whether the case definition version is a draft.
