Where Used Record Links

Post by Richard_Hyland » 11 Jan 2021 10:42

I have been happily running the plugin (Ver 1.5) in FH 7, but today I am having a problem with it.
It has started giving me a prompt to "Choose Record Type" which I am sure it never asked for before.
I am now unable to see where any any of my UK General Record Office records are held.
Is there a way round this?

Thank you

Do you see that option for Keep Prompt that is ticked and the note next to it saying Hover for advice?
Have you done that and read the advice?
What do you think the tick option is for?

See the Help page Plugin Store Help ~ Where Used Record Links.

The plugin has always produced that prompt when no records were selected, but otherwise gave no indication of how to choose records, which some users have found confusing. So in V1.5 the prompt is now configurable to be always kept on, or always hidden except when no records are selected, and that setting applies to all Projects.

I am surprised you say you have been running V1.5 for a while as this prompt setting was there from the start on 5th Jan.
So perhaps you only updated to V1.5 today?

Even with the prompt, you can still select whatever you like by choosing Record Type Source click OK and selecting whatever records you need. You must have already started exploring that method as the default is Source and I can see it has been changed to Repository.

Thank you Mike.

I thought I must have done something without realising it.

Problem resolved now.
