Filemaker 18 now has a popup requesting delimiter information when importing records.

I have created a database which has been used for 5 years by my clients,

It has an import record script which the user could just run and everything populated properly,

after choosing the required file.

Now there are shown a new popup and asked to choose delimiters.

They now have to know which to choose and it is an extra step which is frustrating for the user.

Is there any way to use a default delimiter as it is always the same type of file (tab delimited .txt) imported.

After several attempts, I have managed tp reproduce the issue (though I am still not quite sure how). Then I edited the script and selected [Tab] as the delimiter in the "Specify Import Order" dialog:

That caused the popup to stop appearing when user is prompted to choose a file.

Thanks, this solved the problem for me as well.
