I have a Source Template that I want to edit and sync with the existing citation records that use this template. I've done this many times without issue. But this time the Source Template, "GenealogyBank, Obituaries (online)" [10021], is not appearing in the list of templates in the Source Templates Definition dialogue that I use to edit and sync. The screen grab attached shows the Templates sorted alphabetically in the Source Templates Definitions dialogue and template [10021] is not there.

I'm probably missing something simple but I've spent a lot of time unsuccessfully trying to figure this out so thought it's time to ask for help.

When you say you have "done this many times without issue" do you mean in general or with this specific Template?

Is it possible that the Name has changed so it no longer matches the Definition?

I guess you have used the Create Source Template Definitions plugin previously to create Source Template Definitions from Source Templates imported from RootsMagic.

Try running that plugin again to recreate the definition for this template.

Thank you for your suggestion. I ran the plugin again and it reported that it created 2 templates. I was then able to find the previously missing Source Template Definition and edit it.

Thank you for your help and for responding to my questions. I'm glad that I switched from RM8 to FH. FH seems to have lots of customization capability and robust functionality. But I'm finding that it can sometimes be challenging to learn the ins-and-outs of FH's more advanced functionality. When problems arise, I'm appreciative of the help that you and others on this forum provide. Thanks.
