Table 52. Composite Reference Properties
Property	Description	Editable
Type	A label that identifies the type of definition.	No
Modifier	Indicates whether the composite reference is used in your customized EDI structure. For new composite references, you can leave this field empty. If you are modifying an existing composite reference because you want to indicate that it is not used in your customized EDI structure, set Modifier to Not Used instead of removing it from the EDI structure. Valid values for this property are Deleted, Dependent, Must be used, Not recommended, Not used, Recommended.	Yes
Requirement	Whether the composite reference is Conditional, Dependent, Mandatory, or Optional. Note: If a Modifier is specified, it overrides the Requirement at runtime.	Yes
Repeat Count	The number of times the reference can occur within the segment, composite, or other definition.	Yes
Ordinal	The reference's place within the segment, composite, or other definition. This field is grayed out unless you have set the EDI Structure <hyperlink>Loop Sequence Enabled property to Enable. Not available if the composite reference you are editing is part of a composite (and not a segment).	Yes
Rename XML Node	If present, this value is used instead of the composite reference name to form the XML node name. The original name is retained as an attribute in the XML tag. Not available if the composite reference you are editing is part of a composite (and not a segment).	Yes
