Project info xml

Anonymous — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 13:49:38 GMT

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to organize all contact info for a project via the built-in project info window. I have the two following problems:

1) I cannot modify or remove AC default ones;

2) Apparently I cannot use more than 66 custom fields.

Is there a way to go around this? I think I'd need about 120-180 data fields!

Thanks!

Enrico

Nope, the project info system is, IMHO, quite disabled. Your are correct that the 14 default entries cannot be deleted or renamed.

While the Help system says that you can add any number of new entries, I seem to recall hearing that the number was actually limited. Perhaps there is a way for you to combine some of your fields into a single entry. For instance if you are entering addresses, enter everything into a single field instead of one filed for name, one for street address, another for city, etc. Perhaps then you can fit everything.

Actually that was my fault. I edited the xml file with a text editor (Smultron), and forgot to update the number of custom fields in the text.

Now I have about 160 fields and no problem.
