==The "edit" Element==

The "edit" element is used to allow the user to directly enter a value or text that is then saved into a field. This portal is ideal for allowing the user to enter names or descriptions, as well as entering a wide-ranging or arbitrary value. The complete list of attributes for this element is below.

:{| class="infotable"
|class="leftnormal"|field
|Id – Specifies the unique id of the field where the contents to be edited are both retrieved and stored. The field must exist within the pick/thing associated with the containing template. If this portal is not defined within a template, an edit portal is not allowed.
|-
|maxlength
|(Optional) Integer – Specifies the maximum number of characters that can be entered for this field. If zero, a numeric value will be edited. Default: "0".
|-
|ismultiline
|(Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether the field should be edited as if it contains multi-line text. This attribute only applies to text-based edit portals. Default: "no".
|-
|readonly
|(Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether the information within the portal can be edited by the user or is displayed as read-only. Default: "no".
|-
|format
|(Optional) Set – Designates any special numeric formatting to be enforced for a value-based field. Must be one of these values:<br>
integer – The contents are edited as an integer value.<br>
float – The contents are edited as a floating-point value.<br>
any – No restrictions are imposed on the contents.<br>
Default: "any".
|-
