Dear Studio 2015 users,
I am about to work on a Studio project that has a termbase sent by the client.
I am planning to add new terms on the fly to that termbase, but I would like to label these terms as "draft". Is there a feature in termbase that works like "field" in Studio, that would add that information automatically without having to label it manually for each new term?
Thank you so much for your suggestions.

Hi Chun-yi,
I think many translators only use MultiTerm at a basic level so you're probably in good company! This seemed like a good opportunity to create a simple howto video to tackle what is probably a fairly common scenario. I hope this explains things a little for you:

Paul,
I have one more question: how do I delete a field in the definition wizard? It seems I can only add new values to an existing picklist. I would like to remove the entire field and do it again but the Remove button is greyed out.
Thank you.

When modifying a termbase definition, you can only add fields (and picklist values) but not remove any because this would create problems with existing entries, MultiTerm would not know what to do with entries that already have values in the fields you try to delete.
If you want to remove fields or picklist values form an existing termbase, you need to create a new termbase based on the definition of the existing one and remove the fields you want to remove (it will be possible in this case because you create a new termbase). Once you have done this, import the exported entries from your exiting termbase into the new one. MultiTerm will only import the fields and values for the fields that exist in the new termbase and drop the ones for the fields you have deleted.
