You have opened the Form properties - <Form name> dialog (Popup menu > Properties on the form in the Pages - <Project name> navigator dialog) and have clicked [...] in the Value field of Assignment: Function definition to graphic property.
In this dialog you specify for which function definition a particular graphic should be shown in the data area. This property is needed so that a (predefined) graphic can be shown in the terminal diagram, for instance, for terminals of a particular terminal type (i.e., with a particular function definition).
If after defining the assignment in this dialog you place the Assignment: Function definition to graphic property in the form, then a symbol is placed based on the function definition of the function to be output.
