When dealing with a PBORE, a Qualifier can be either a null value or a numeric value from 0 – 9, change the value by selecting a value from the Qualifier drop-down to the far right of the window.

Each Question column must have a default value set to either a definite answer (a value, word, etc) or to a – or = character. TYPE, NAME and PBOR columns must have – (null) defaults values and the Reference Pointer columns must have no default entries at all.
