Remapping container field image path to new folder

[bcolburn]

Hello all,

I moved a folder and all of my container fields now show error messages because they map to the older folder location and not he new one. I found this amazingly inspiring solution online:

Unfortunately, when I get to the last part, the ImagePath field I created is grayed out, so I cannot equate it to File Name for the import. Does anyone have any ideas why that might be? The images are all PDF documents imported as Quicktime. I don't know if that matters, but I have a feeling it might. Anyone able to help?

Thanks!

From instruction 6:

Click on the arrow between the File Name and ImagePath fields until it looks like an equals sign.

ImagePath is defined as a calculation and therefore cannot be imported - but it can be used as the means of a MATCH field, which is what the instructions actually say. Keep clicking on the linker between your ImagePath and your source field until you get an "=" symbol.

Fantastic. I'm not sure why I couldn't make it do that before, but now I can. Thanks for making me check my work. That wasn't bad at all!
