On the other hand copying to an existing field raises the question of what happens when we have multiple such fields in the record.
I can think of quite a few options from the top of my head: - Add the subfield to all of the existing fields - Do nothing - Add only to the first such field that exists (probably not a very interesting option...) - Add to the field matching this and this criteria on this other subfield - Create a new field with a subfield having the given value (current behaviour)
In the end the process would be something like:
If the record has no such field already, choose between: - Create the field with the subfield and the wanted value - Do nothing
If the record has exactly one field of this type, choose between: - Add the subfield to the existing field - Create a new field with the subfield and the wanted value - Do nothing
If the record has multiple fields of this type, choose between: - Add the subfield to all the existing fields - Create a new field with the subfield and the wanted value - Add to the field matching this and this criteria on this other subfield - Do nothing
Else: - Timewarp
I feel like this is a bug, since existing templates are not working as they were before. But it seems to me that this action is very unclear in itself and probably deserves some enhancement to let users choose more clearly what will happen.
I agree with this - we need more options and that's a development. But we should put things back the way they worked before before we start enhancing things. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
