Line Type	This field shows the line type: Sum/Text or Time. Sum/Text — If you select this value, you can use the current line as a text line, adding a line of text to the budget, or as a sum line.

In both cases, you cannot specify a reference to an activity or task on the line, and you cannot mark the line as a milestone.
