# Global rules

Global rules are known as 'Limitations' in the old version.

Globar rules help you define how fields function when a user creates a new item in aqua, optimizing workflows and improving team efficiency. 

The field can be:

* required
* highlighted
* hidden
* read-only

Or

Can have

* default value
* specific value

### Adding Global rule

Click **Add Global Rule** to open a modal and define the rule:

* **Field** – Field to be modified
* **Has Attribute** – What to apply (Required, Read-only, Default Value, etc.)
* **Field Mode** (shown when Default Value is selected):
  * **String Field** – default text
  * **Dropdown Field** – value(s) or empty
  * **User Field** – current user or empty
* **For / Role** – Define roles
* **Value** – Whether this rule applies or not

You can:

* Add multiple rules
* Edit, duplicate, or delete rules from the list view (hover to reveal actions)
