You can add new fields to an existing termbase entry at both entry and language level, provided that you have write access to the entry at the appropriate level.
Termbase entries are hierarchically structured and all fields are nested inside parent fields or the entry and language headers. You can add new fields to any field that is defined as a parent field in the termbase definition. To find out whether an existing field is a parent field or not, select the field label and right-click to display a list of subordinate fields. You can add any of the fields on this list to the selected parent field. If there is no list, the selected field has no subordinate fields.

Check that you have sufficient termbase access rights to carry out the required editing tasks. In addition, note the following:
Certain license restrictions may apply in your MultiTerm environment. For example, if the maximum number of concurrent editors on the network has already been reached, you may be temporarily prevented from carrying out any editing tasks. If necessary, contact your MultiTerm administrator to inform him of your requirements.
If another user is editing the entry you want to edit, you will not be able to open the entry in edit mode.
Go to the Terms view. Perform a search to find the entry you want to edit. Click on the relevant term in the hit list on the left-hand side to open the corresponding entry in the entry pane.
Select a layout from the lower MultiTerm Online toolbar that displays all mandatory fields and the fields you want to edit.
Select the input model you want to use from the Input Model page in the Termbase Management view.
Click Edit entry on the lower MultiTerm Online toolbar. Select the parent field to which you want to add new fields and right-click to display a list of subordinate fields. NOTE: If an arrow is displayed on the parent field it indicates that there are available subordinate fields for that parent field.
Select a field from the list and click to add it to your entry. MultiTerm adds the new field as a child of the selected parent field.
When you have finished editing, click Save entry on the lower MultiTerm Online toolbar to exit edit mode. The entry is saved to the termbase.
To exit the entry editor without saving the entry, click Cancel entry editing.
Click Edit entry on the lower MultiTerm Online toolbar. Select the field to which you want to add content and press [Enter] to open the field for editing. Add field content as required and press [Enter] to save the new text. The field and its contents are now visible in the Entry pane.
To cancel the addition of field content, press [Esc]. The field remains empty in the entry pane.
For information about adding cross-references to new text fields, see Creating Cross-references.
For information on attaching Multimedia files, see Attaching Multimedia Files.
Click Save entry on the lower MultiTerm Online toolbar to exit edit mode. The entry is saved to the termbase.
To exit the entry editor without saving the entry, click Cancel entry editing.
When you add or edit a language field, MultiTerm Online checks whether the term already exists in another entry in the termbase. If the same term already exists in another entry, MultiTerm Online asks if you want to merge the two entries.
To continue editing and thus create a second instance of the term in a homonym entry, click Cancel.
To merge the two entries, click OK. The existing entry, also known as the master entry, is displayed in edit mode. The fields that previously belonged to the newer entry are now merged into the existing entry. Finish editing and then save the master entry. Delete the entry whose content has been merged into the master entry.
