Using the correct prepositions in English can be tricky, especially when describing the elements of a web app interface. Here’s a guide based on your case:
Use "in" when referring to something within a specific area or part of the application.
Example: "The user should enter their details in the form on the screen."
Example: "We need to make changes in the settings page."
Use "on" when referring to something that is displayed or visible on a particular surface, such as a screen, page, or menu.
Example: "Click on the left menu to navigate to the settings page."
Example: "The search bar is located on the top of the page."
Example: "The details are shown on the screen after selecting a menu item."
Use "for" when indicating the purpose of a function, button, or screen.
Example: "This button is used for submitting the form."
Example: "Create a screen for displaying user profiles."
Example: "We need a tab for managing user settings."
Use "of" to show possession or a relationship between two things.
Example: "The title of the page should be clear and concise."
Example: "The items of the left menu should be categorized by function."
Example: "The details of the selected item appear in the center."
"When you click on a menu item in the left navigation, a details page is displayed on the center screen."
"The top group tabs are for different sections of the application."
On is often used when describing actions related to buttons, links, or menu items (e.g., "Click on the button").
In is common when referring to areas or containers within the interface (e.g., "Enter your name in the input field").
For is used to explain the purpose of a function or screen (e.g., "This screen is for editing profiles").
Of indicates a relationship or belonging (e.g., "The title of the page").
With these guidelines, you should be able to describe your web app's interface more clearly!

Here’s a revised and optimized version of your message:
Hi JK,
Here’s a quick overview and some questions regarding the requested changes:
Update the .meta.json file to support reader type values SF1, SF2, and SF3 instead of TFR.
BASE_LF.meta.json
{
"metaData": {
"appVersion": "$STM_APP_VERSION",
"lfVersion": "$LF_VERSION",
"readerType": "TFR"
}
}
Add validation code before producing readers.
Specify how to retrieve reader information and verify the reader type.
Update the UI to display information for the 3FR reader type on the Limit TRNs, New Configurations, Reader Configurations, Production, and Readers pages.
Update the database to support these changes.
Each reader configuration is linked to one TRN (supporting only one SF type). Therefore, when we select a reader configuration for production, multiple readers of the same type will be processed simultaneously. Is this correct?
You mentioned that "Simultaneous download of TRNs on multiple devices should be supported." Could you clarify what you mean by this?
"In the file, in the class, in the structure": "In" is correct because it refers to something contained within these elements.
"Support reader type values as SF1, SF2, and SF3 instead of TFR": "As" is used to specify the new values.
"Add validation code before producing readers": This phrase is fine as is.
"Show information for the 3FR reader type on the pages": Use "for" when referring to the specific type, and "on" when referring to the pages where this information will be displayed.
"Add update database for this support": Clarified to "Additionally, update the database to support this change," as this is a smoother and more precise way to convey the intended meaning.
"Each reader configuration is linked to one TRN (supporting only one SF type). Therefore, when we select one reader configuration for production, multiple readers of the same type will be processed simultaneously. Is this correct?
Statement: 'Simultaneous download of TRNs on multiple devices should be supported.' Could you clarify what you mean by this?"
"Each reader config link to one trn (support one SF type only)": Revised to "Each reader configuration is linked to one TRN (supporting only one SF type)" for clarity and correct grammar.
"The same multiple readers processed this time": Clarified to "multiple readers will be processed simultaneously" to better convey the intended meaning.
"What you mean for this saying?": Corrected to "Could you clarify what you mean by this?" for proper English phrasing.
