Hi Joe,

I got some feedback and this was actually designed this way. However, based on your suggestion we are looking into saving the data once the checkbox is checked/unchecked. This update most likely will be ready next week.

Hi. Me again lol!,

Screen This Applies To: The Field Edit Wizard screen for any given table under Customize->Tables/Fields->'Edit Fields...'.

Ok. After creating a custom table you often come to realize certain fields should be (or should not be) required or unique but were not set that way on the initial setup. For the sake of the example lets say we are trying to set fields A,B,C,D to be required after they were added to the table. Clicking the box next to field 'A', followed by pressing 'save changes' will indeed save this field and force it to hence forth be required.

However, if the remaining 3 check boxes are clicked for (C,D,E) and save changes is clicked, it will save only the 1 for the row in which the link appears and uncheck the other 2 that were not saved.

Taking another rapproach, I clicked the required boxes for (C,D,E) followed by clicking "Finished Editing Fields" in the table wizard. This did not save any of the checked fields' properties.

I am under the impression that the checkboxes existed to allow mass changes / saving as well as individual changes. Please keep me posted if this is an issue to be resolved or simply an intended use of the wizard that i disagree with hehe.

Thank you =)
