 That's it, all done. After clicking the **OK** or **OK & Next** buttons, every time a user chooses the item you entered in the **Item name** / **Item code** fields it will be replaced with the item you entered in the **When this item is chosen in a list, use** field. That's it, all done.

-==== Stores tab ==== +**Note:** Item custom field 5 is also settable, as shown in the screenshot. It is a number field. This is the user_field_5 for the **cross reference item** (brand/familiar name), not the normal item. The //user_field_5// label shown in the screenshot will be replaced with the name assigned to the field in the preferences (see the [[preferences:general#misc_tab|16.01. General preferences]] page for details) if it has been set. Making this field settable here might seem strange but it is used in some customisations!
-You select the stores the cross reference item will be visible in on this tab. It operates exactly the same as the Stores tab described [[items:adding_a_new_item#stores_tab|above]] for normal items.+
  
-Note: cross reference items cannot be added to master lists so there is no Master lists tab. Their visibility cannot therefore be controlled by master lists but only by directly selecting the stores they are visible in on this stores tab.+The visibility of cross reference items in different stores matches the visibility of the normal item it is linked to. So there is no functionality for manually setting the visibility of cross reference items.
