F8 with forbidden terms does not work as expected

Hi Folks,

I'd like to flag this up again from a similar post a few years back in the MultiTerm forum:

https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/f/multiterm/6328/what-are-the-proper-verification-settings-for-detecting-forbidden-terms-in-terminology-verifier-ts-2015

The problem is that SDL Studio does not check forbidden terms correctly.

That is: it does not check forbidden terms on a term-by-term basis but globally.

This makes it useless except for terms that should not be in the text at all, i.e. a kind of "stop list".

While I imagine this does have limited use - such as forbidding use of the word "enable" in English - the much more useful application of stopping the use of a word for a specific term is not provided, and this is counter-intuitive since this is exactly what is expected for a forbidden term search working on a per-term basis.

Is there anywhere where this bug - since I believe it to be one - could be reported?

As a footnote to this bug report, it would make MUCH more sense in my opinion if we could simply search for terms with a specific status and not merely "forbidden". This would make term bases much more useful. A document could be searched for all terms flagged for SEO use, for example, or for user interface terminology. This could all be stored in parallel in the term base.

At the moment, this simply does not work (as expected).



Added footnote.
