NOTE. When a data entry form is built and when a calculation algorithm is selected, the custom style settings are determined for data data that did not pass control. These settings have a higher priority comparing to style settings in the control block. For example, if font settings are determined in the data entry form and control block, the font settings from the data entry form are used for data formatting.
