An Alternative is an own kind of object, which is created by using the Add method of a field’s Alternatives
collection. It takes the fixed string
dataset::TextFieldAlternative as the first parameter and a name for the
alternative (which can be chosen freely) as the second parameter.
Like fields, you add a
Value and a SourceInfo to the alternative.
Alternatives are displayed with a green box in the full image. They need not reside on the same page as the field
itself.
