This article explains how to set up split fields in the plan details form.
Split fields allow you to split plan costs between parent plans. For example, you could split project costs between multiple programs, departments, divisions, etc.
This procedure requires the Plan Details app to be installed. See How do I add apps?

In this example, there is a Budget split field for the multi-select lookup field Associated Objectives in a Project plan type plan details form.
There are two objectives related to the project VOIP Phones.
You can set the split percentage. Here we have a 25% and 75% split. This means that the objective "Improve Customer Experience" is allotted 25% of the project budget, and the objective "Generate More Marketing Qualified Leads" is allotted 75% of the project budget. You will see the Budget (Split) fields update as you change the split percentage.
