Wish List Item 526

Post by jelv » 04 Jun 2023 11:41

Wish list item 526

Unless I'm missing something, I think this works in 7. There's one oddity I can see:

If you click either the field name or the data for most fields (e.g. date, place) it synchronises.

If you click the source field name it synchronises, but if you click the name of the source it shows Sources For <whole record>.

I'm not sure if this minor quirk matters.

Can anyone else check this out? If a couple of people confirm it's implemented, I'll mark it as such.

No, it still doesn't work properly. The Wish List item says:
BUT when located and selected in the All tab, the associated field is NOT selected in the Sources For yellow pane.
If there happens to be more than one Source Citation, then the 1st Citation always remains selected.
(My italics.) This is still the case when there are multiple sources.

No, it does not work.
This item focuses on the All tab and selecting one of multiple Source citations or its subsidiary fields.
Whichever instance is selected, the 1st entry in the Sources For list is always highlighted instead of the chosen instance.

Well, Helen was asking for anyone to confirm it was not working. So I added my confirmation that the Wish List and CP ticket that I raised in 2013 on FH V5.0 has still not been fixed. Why do I get rebuked for that confirmation?

Why do I get rebuked for that confirmation?
Not a rebuke, just an expression of bafflement. Because there didn’t seem any point in repeating what had already been said. If your answer had come in first it wouldn’t have occurred to me to write my own reply saying exactly the same thing. :?

(Helen said that if "a couple of people" confirm it's implemented she would mark it as such, but that doesn’t mean she needed a couple of people to say it’s NOT implemented!)
