To change a static property to a dynamic property:
- Locate the static property from the list of available
properties.
- Double click the gray radio button
to the right
of the property name.

indicating

To return the changed dynamic property to a static property:

to the
right of the property name.
- The button will turn grey
indicating

When returning a changed dynamic property to a static property
any rule applied while it was dynamic will be lost.

equated to before it was changed.
