| Update note indentation strategy when headings change |
In the financial statements, users have the ability to enable/disable note numbers and headings. This option provides control over the indentation of the body of a note relative to the note headings automatically. If No is selected, the indentation will always have the exact indentation as defined in the note style. If Yes is selected, the note content maintains its position relative to its headings/subheading. |
