Title: How to add Custom fields?
Post by: datdude on March 21, 2004, 02:30:18 pm

I have searched and searched and just can't figure out how to add a custom field to the library.  Could someone please walk me through this like Im a 2 year old?

Thanks

tools > options > tree and view > add

then create the one you want, just be a little wary ive noticed that recently when i have done this then exited the system ive lost the new fields. this never used to happen so it may be a problem with the more recent beta's (still not sure though, so i havent reported it yet).

try a batch then exit the system, and see if they are still there. if so then its me, not MC

Thanks.  I was looking under tagging so I didn't even consider trees and views.

can you let me know if your attempt is successful. if neither of us can create fields (and have them stay) then i will report a bug, otherwise no

I was successfull.  Once I added them, I exited the program and they were there when I restarted.  So that is kinda weird and should be fixed but it works.

Now I am having problems getting the library to accept custom TXXX fields that I had previously tagged outside of MC
