Hello.

New Entries Only -> Shorthand Entry is available for entering new records in most foreign key forms. It is not available for combinations forms, updating existing records, or entering queries.

All Entries-> Shorthand Entry is available for entering new records or updating old records. It is not available for entering queries.

Query and New Entry->Shorthand Entry is available for entering new records or for entering queries. It is not available for updating existing records.

Always->Shorthand Entry is available for inserting, updating, or querying flexfields for which shorthand aliases are defined.

Hi Khan.

I think the best way for you to understand it is to use a non-production instance and use the aliases with the different values of the profile option.
