Source file System field in SDLTMs

Hi,

Creating a new idea just for the Source file System field in Studio.

Please do consider having a Source file system field in SDLTMs which capture at least the file where that segment was first created. Filepath and name would be ideal but filename is already better. It's a very useful piece of information which is available in the TMX file but not visible in the SDLTM format.

There was a recommendation in a previous post to use the Record source plug-in for it but this is key functionality that is missing in Studio. Besides, the suggestion of a plug-in will not do much, as that is not something that can be deployed in TMS TMs.

Thank you once again for considering this enhancement.

Kind regards,

Miriam

Great article by Paul Filkin on this topic for whomever reads this idea request: https://multifarious.filkin.com/2016/01/14/recordsourcetu/

However, the bottom line is still there: Storing the filename as a TM Field for GroupShare TMs is not practical with projects that have more files. And it does seem that "Of these it’s the last one “Source File” that I have seen people asking for since adopting Studio.". So I am wondering how can we push this idea more?

Also another avenue for our users needing this idea would be to post on the App Forum and request for this app to support GroupShare TMs. That would be this place:
