How can you change the displayed attributes for features in the Attributes window?

The correct approach to change the displayed attributes for features in the Attributes window is through layer properties to set a display expression. This method allows you to customize how attributes are shown to users by defining an expression that can combine, format, or alter the attribute values in a way that makes them more meaningful or user-friendly.

Using layer properties provides a centralized way to manage how data is presented. For instance, you can create a display expression that concatenates multiple attributes into a single string or formats dates and numerical data to enhance readability. This level of customization ensures that the displayed attributes effectively convey the necessary information relevant to the specific map or analysis context.

In contrast, the other options, while they may involve interacting with features or attributes, do not provide a method for globally controlling how attributes are displayed in the Attributes window. Simply right-clicking on a feature or modifying a feature template does not give the same level of control as using display expressions within the layer properties settings. The attribute table can show data, but it doesn’t have the same capability for customizing how attributes are represented in the Attributes window as display expressions do.
