Field Preferences Problem

[paulab]

Hi,

I just migrated Bookpedia (6.2.1 Beta 231) to a new MacBook Air (2022, OS Ventura). It looks like all my titles imported properly. The field preferences appear correct, but some fields are missing from the add edit panel, details view, and full screen details. For example, although genre is checked off and should appear on the add edit panel, that field does not appear when I add a new title. Almost none of the specified fields appear on the extra or selling tabs.

Any suggestions for how to correct this?

Thanks.
Paula

When you are in the Edit panel have a look at the bottom Left of the Status bar, just above the < > arrows, you will see either 'Hide Empty' or 'Show All'

'Hide Empty' = any empty fields will be hidden
'Show All' = all fields will show whether they have content in them or not.

So if you are seeing 'Show All' it means that empty fields are being hidden and vice versa.

Please have a read of this Topic: Pedia Maintenance Practices

I hope this is of Help
