Special editing options for formula fields

You can edit the independent and dependent domain types of formula fields.

If you edit the independent domain of the formula field, and the variables you select for the new domain are not a subset of the variables in the old domain, you must create a new expression for the formula field.

If you edit the dependent domain of the formula field and change it to another domain that has the same dimensionality, like pressure and stress, you do not have to create a new expression. However, if the dimensions do not match, you must create a new expression for the formula field.
