Select one of the following options from the drop-down list:
- <none> — Select this option if you do not want to assign code files to the selected code file.
- Code (optional) — Select this option to choose a valid code assignment from the code file specified in the
Code File column or to leave the code assignments blank. Codes assignments may be left blank. However, when assigning codes, Cobra will validate that the assigned codes exist in the code file.
- Code (required) — Select this option to require that a valid code assignment be selected from the code file specified in the
Code File column. When assigning codes, Cobra will validate if the assigned codes exist in the code file.

Previously blank or invalid assignments will not be updated automatically.
