Fact Sentences

Post by ColinMc » 04 Aug 2021 13:27

I've tended to be reluctant to use manual alterations to any facts by editing in the Property Box. My main issue is that I've gradually going through all of my Facts changing to the wording I want, and often using Auto-Create notes. Later I have also been re-editing them as I learn and understand more, and I want those alts (and perhaps more importantly corrections) to be reflected in the Sentences that were created previously with an earlier version of the Sentence code. As I understand it, any alts made to a Sentence via TOOLS > FACT TYPES will not be reflected to existing sentences if manual alts have been made.

To let me check, I've adapted the All Facts query, to create a new query which lists all facts but includes a filter Exclude if %FACT._SENT% is NULL.

This appears to include the facts that I want, but I'm worried that I might be wrongly excluding some records. Will this do the job?

All your assumptions and analysis are perfectly correct.

That was very quick, even by your standards. Thanks
