Duplicates Field Property working?

I’d agree with your wishes, but I can see where from the ProVue standpoint there are tradeoffs with it. PanoramaX’s power and flexibility make it a huge project, but I doubt their current market share gives them armies of coders to get things done. Now, they are clearly trying to significantly grow that market share and wanting new users. However their loyal old customer base has been legitimately scared that Apple would break Panorama6 before PanoramaX became available. Those dependent on Server6 still fear that.

Trying to provide new serviceable versions of both in time competes with providing user-friendliness. Too much effort put into pointing out which old Pan6 features aren’t yet implemented risks scaring away new users from an ‘unfinished product.’ Those following this forum since the announcement of X have seen enough features restored and enhanced to engender faith that what hasn’t been formally deprecated will arrive, significant remaining bugs will be fixed. New users won’t have that faith.

I’ll offer a couple suggestions for Help. Tag those planned, listed but not yet implemented old Panorama 6 features therein with one of those pretty Font Awesome characters, I’d suggest star-half-o. Link that symbol to an explanatory Help page. If possible I’d also like to see an option to search for text within a given help page. The current search tool quickly get me to the correct page, but on the longer pages it can take too much reading to find my target. Other users can probably offer more suggestions. I’m confident they’ll be fairly considered. Although the results may not show up until after the initial release of ServerX.
