I added additional columns to the "Track" field in Tellico, the
fields already existed in the import.<br>
The new "XTrack" I created worked fine when I imported it. It was
identical to the modified "Track" field.<br>

importing a csv import into the Music Collection.<br>
After many attempts and using test files I think there is a
real problem.<br>
<br>
I decided to use the "Tracks" field, but I need a few more
columns so I added them.<br>
<br>
I imported my file. It appears to work perfectly. The
tracks were all imported. I look at them in the edit
window. Good.<br>
I save the file, and exit.<br>
The next time I open the database there is nothing in the
"Tracks" field.<br>
I created a new field "XTracks" exactly like the "Tracks"
field, and I use that field on my import.<br>
Everything is fine. I can open, edit, and look around and
the field still stays populated.<br>
<br>
I think there something with your default fields. It
appears to be fixed, and not changeable.<br>
<br>
I know if you delete a field, it gets recreated, if you do a
search import, so maybe?<br>
<br>
Can I lock the default fields, so I don't make that kind of
mistake again.<br>

<div>Thanks for passing on that experience. There's no way to
lock the fields on an import, and it does sound like
something's going wrong in the way Tellico is 'merging' the
default field with your import. I'll dig into it. <br>

<div>When you mention adding a few more columns, you're doing
that in the CSV file?</div>
