Problem with updating a specific termbase. By default, the wrong cloud-based termbase is used when I try to add new terms in Studio (cloud-based project).

Question

I have 2 termbases, which I manage in Trados Enterprise. I only want to update one specific termbase, so in Trados Enterprise I selected the appropriate termbase to update and left the other one as a read-only. I also put the preferred termbase first on the list. The settings are the same in Terminology, Project Templates and Translation Engines. 
 However, when I'm in Studio and click to add a new term, the wrong termbase (read-only) opens. If I go to Project Settings and click on cloud-based terminology, I can see both cloud-based termbases. They both have the use box selected. The one that is supposed to be read-only appears first on the list. 
 I can delete the cloud-based terminology by default and open it again manually (Use, Cloud-based Terminology). It then shows me both termbases and I can click on the specific one to update and it works... but I can't do this manually for all cloud-based projects! Is there a way to fix it so that the correct cloud-based termbase is used by default when I open a cloud-based project in Studio?

Hello, 
 I understand your concern about the default termbase selection in Trados Studio. It seems like you've done everything correctly in Trados Enterprise, but the settings are not reflecting in Trados Studio. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue: 
 Step 1: Open Trados Studio and go to the 'Project Settings'. 
 Step 2: Navigate to 'Language Pairs' > 'All Language Pairs' > 'Termbases'. 
 Step 3: Here, you should see both of your termbases listed. Make sure the 'Use' box is checked for the termbase you want to update and unchecked for the read-only termbase. 
 Step 4: If both boxes are checked, uncheck the one for the read-only termbase. 
 Step 5: Make sure the termbase you want to update is listed first. If it's not, you can use the 'Move Up' and 'Move Down' buttons to rearrange the order. 
 Step 6: Click 'OK' to save your changes. 
 Now, when you open a cloud-based project in Trados Studio, it should default to using the correct termbase. If the issue persists, it might be a good idea to check for updates within the application or reinstall the software. 
 I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
