Starting with SWIFT 2018 Release, the codewords ADD, DELETE and REPALL are introduced for the long text fields such as goods description, documents required and additional conditions under L/C. In the application this leads to a structured and simplified handling of these long text fields when handling an amendment.

To ADD a text to the above mentioned text fields, the additions are entered into the field Adding/ Deleting Text in Current Amendment of the respective panel. When leaving the field, the button [Add] will be enabled and by clicking it, the text will be added to the end of the text field goods description, documents required or additional conditions.

To DELETE a text from any of the fields goods description, documents required or additional conditions, the text portion (at least one full line) that should be deleted must be selected and copied into the field Adding/ Deleting Text in the Current Amendment. When leaving the field, the button [Delete] will be enabled and by clicking it, the text will be deleted.

To fully REPLACE the content of a narrative field with a new content (codeword in SWIFT is REPALL), the checkbox Modify Text to Replace will should be selected. This will enable the text field and the user can type any changes directly into the text field.

The button [Show Diff] displays a text comparison of any additions in yellow color and deletions in red color.

When the checkbox Modify Text Internally is selected, the text field will be enabled as well and the user can type any changes into the text field as well but these changes are internally only, meaning that none of the changes will be carried into the outgoing electronic messages.
