If you want to specify alternative terms, click on the Add new alternative term button and enter the information.

If the entry field is not visible, click on the triangle to expand the section for alternative terms.

Properties can be removed by pressing the x button next to the property. Property values are validated against the validation expression configured for the corresponding definition set on the Local Code System.
