# Configure field write options

# Configure field write options {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Yokohama  
Updated January 30, 2025  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Within the Mobile SDK, when writing data to a ServiceNow instance through a REST endpoint, you can define field write
options.
You configure field write options using the [FieldWriteOptions](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/lLo0Ce~K~80tiRn2_8LTKQ#FieldWriteOptionsAndroidAPI "The FieldWriteOptions class provides functions that set the options for updating or creating fields in a record on a ServiceNow instance.") API. This interface enables you to configure:

* Whether to suppress automatic generation of system fields.
* Whether to set field values using their [display value](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_DisplayValues&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US)[display value](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_DisplayValues&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US) rather than their actual value.
