Fred Slota Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The internal field is I.[CoverInker] In the find window, the entry in the Fields dropdown box in the upper right is "Cover Inks", but properly fills in "I.[CoverInker]". In the find window, the entry in the Find tool in the near upper left is "Item Fields | Cover Inks", but properly searches "I.[CoverInker]". This confused me at first when I tried to type an Advanced Find based on what I saw in the above lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven L. Dasinger Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 These are 'alias' names (or whatever SQLite calls them). They are useful when you want a different name for a column but you don't want to change the actual table name (and all the places it appears in the program). There are several who's name in the Advanced Find Fields drop-down box are different that what shows up in the Where box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Except I don't think this is... If the alias was working, shouldn't I be able to equally search for I.[CoverInker] and I.[CoverInks]? I.[CoverInker] works, I.[CoverInks] does not. If there's supposed to be an alias in this case, it doesn't appear to be working. If there's no alias, I politely suggest that the wording in the list reflect the actual field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J. Castaneda Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 can you screenshot a couple of examples? It'll be easier for our programming to understand what you're seeing and follow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Almost everywhere, the program refers to the position as "Cover Inks". When entering credits for an issue... When looking at the credits for an issue... In the Find Item Fields list... Producing this search window... And in the field selectin list for Advanced Find... But the actual search field is... I.[CoverInks] does not work as a search field. Which is the phrasing reinforced by being universally used everywhere else in the program. My suggestions - either add a functioning "CoverInks" alias, or change the above references from "Cover Inks" to "Cover Inker". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J. Castaneda Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I see what you mean. The screenshots really help drive your point. I'll mention to the programming team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
