Hi,
I am currently rebuilding a system, which means consolidating tables from many files in a unique file. I use extensively Export Records... with type set as FileMaker Pro Advanced. So I export from a file in the actual system and then import in a new file.
Thing is I realized that during the process I loose fields definitions : a field that was set to calculation becomes a field of the type set for the calculation and a field that was set with auto-enter loose all the auto-enter parameters.
Is this the normal behavior for Export Records in FileMaker Pro Advanced format ? This was not what I expected. What a chore having to repair this. I work with FMPA 17.0.2.205.
Many thanks
Yes. Export means export data. To preserve the schema, you can import from the original file, and select [New Table] as the target.
