Computed fields are typically read only and default that way within the Class Generator, but they can be configured to be modifiable. The Set method for a computed field could then be adjusted to perform other operations such as change the value of another data bound field. An example would be setting the DataType property of a business object where the DataType is of type TfieldType (i.e. ftInteger or ftDateTime), and then setting the appropriate value of the DataTypeInt field which is an integer value stored in the database table.
