"Store Only A Reference To The File" - Resets after FM is quit

[andyCodling]

Just upgraded to FM13 from FM11.

 

Many things have changed or broken/fixed.  Extremely frustrating!

 

In FM 11 once the checkbox for "Store Only A Reference To The File" was checked it stuck.  Quit out of FM and go back in, insert a file and the checkbox would be how it was left.  Once set the user could forget about it as it would always be as they left it last time.  They only ever reference the files so it was one less thing they had to think about and are now in the habit of not thinking about it.  Myself included.

 

In FM 12 it resets.  It only sticks for the current session.

 

Is there anyway of getting this functionality back?  Or have I now got to tell the users that they now have to make sure the flag is correct every time they start a new session and then shrug my shoulders when they ask "Why?".

PS I don't suppose there is a way of knowing which of the current containers is containing embedded as opposed to a linked files?

Are these Global Fields?

Instead of supposing, you could study the documentation …

Thanks for the replies.

 

I am referring to the check box in this window.

 

 

EOS - I will check out the documentation.  Thanks for the link.
