Is there any way - for an existing database - to move certain common format fields in different tables into the field Repository? If not within the SDT Explorer, can it be done by writing a program that modifies the SDT control tables directly?

It seems I could do the following>

use sdtmeta
scan for realname='xname' and !replink
replace replink with .T.
* assuming xname is the smae for the field and rep field name
replace replnkfld with 'xname'
replace updated with datetime()
