Dealing with locked items in MultiTerm

Dear Community!

Anyone knows how to fix the locked-entries error?

Trados Studio screenshot showing a status panel with 'Read-only: no', 'Content encryption: no', 'Expires on:  ', and 'Locked entries' with IDs 5848 and 11642 labeled as 'super'.

They just appeared at some point and the last backup was made a week ago. Too many changes and new items, pics, merging and corrections done since then.

I am trying to be accurate with the TDB, so , actually, it´s mea culpa that I may loose these information. There is a new TDB-creation option, of course, and  I will do it.

But the question is there:

a) what are actually "locked entries"? What is behind them

b) how can I find them? Their numbers are in my case 5848 and 11642. But Multiterm has no term search by ID number. There must be some option...

c) can I fix them? Or delete, if found. Will this solve the problem? Interesting, but they DO get fixed if I export everything and import everything in a newly-created TDB. How come?

c) why do they get locked? anything I do wrong?

If not for the multimedia files I have to attach manually after the creation of the new database, there would be no problem. 

Besides, this is what I get when I try to create a new entry: error message before typing anything:

Very grateful in advance!

  • Dear Lydia, 

    I followed your advice and reorganized my termbase.

    However, the problem persists. There are two options: add term and add term immediately (or similar). So, the first option opens the new entry window and works properly (the term is saved in the database).

    However, the second option, though shows no mistake when clicking, does not actually send the term to the file. I checked it in Multiterm via normal search, they are not there. 

    Would be great to have this second option, I used it often, but then...can live without it.

    Could the recent update to SR1 be the reason? (I updated both, Studio and Multiterm).

    Best regards!
