Hi Doug, thanks for the rely.

Version 5.1
The "Linked to field repository" checkbox is selected when I initially drag my field from the field repository. Immediately after saving, upon modifying the table again, the "Linked to field repository" checkbox is no longer selected and selected it again has not appreciable effect.

Your advice...
