does deleting fields still change import mappings?

[mscholtz]

I know that in FMP 5/6, if you had scripted an import, then subsequently deleted one or more fields from the table (file) you were importing into, you ran the risk of having your import mappings messed up.

(It seemed to be that the script remembered the mappings based on the creation order of the fields, rather than a hard reference to the fields themselves. So if you deleted a field that was created prior to one of the mapped fields, everything would get 'moved up one notch'.)

My question is: does this still happen in FM 7/8? Or has this been fixed? I could go test it myself, but can someone save me the trouble?

Thanks very much!

FYI, circumstantial evidence (i.e. very cursory testing) leads me to believe that this has been fixed.

Deleting a field doesn't appear to alter scripted import mappings.

If anyone knows otherwise, please still let me know.
