Multiterm 2017 automatically adds the first item on picklists to newly-added words!

Hi,

I have a peculiar problem with SDL Multiterm 2017. I created a termbase with an entry-level picklist field named "subject field". I added several subjects to this field such as "General, Engineering, Medical", etc. Now, whenever I add a new term in MultiTerm 2017 and click on the "add a new field" and then select "subject field" to assign one of these to my newly-added word, the first one, i.e. "General" is automatically selected as the subject field for my term. I have to click on the dropdown menu on the right hand side of the word "general" to open the picklist, select the right subject field, and then click the tiny x on the top right corner of "general" to remove it. Now, this is very cumbersome and a real pain in the neck. Why is this happening? Is there a way to get around it?

Thanks in advance

  • Hi Paul,
    Thanks for taking this matter up. What I would like to see when clicking "subject field" is a dropdown list of all fields from which I can choose the appropriate field. As it is now, it automatically selects the first one ("General" in my case), and then I have to go ahead and select the right field and delete "general". I have to do this every time I add a new word to my termbase and want to assign a subject field to that term which is quite a hassle. Am I doing something wrong? Because that's not how dropdown lists are supposed to work.
    And please fix the default view merge bug. It's a big shame we can't use that feature in default view. :-(
