Hello everyone, maybe you have a good idea on how to accomplish this:
We need to update around 600 character fields (scattered in an app with 250+ forms) with a menu pattern. My first guess was to export forms to a def file (without the pattern), create the pattern and attach is and export form and dependant menu to see what happens. I wanted to learn about the changes in order to do them in a batch script and perform an in-place re-import afterwards. When doing a diff though, there are things that are obvious and other that are not. Especially, what happens to display-instance is odd to me. I think it has to do with the menubutton that appears after setting the pattern, but I just can't tell. - Has anyone of you had any experience with performing mass changes this way? - Is this a reasonable way at all? I could not get hold of any documentation regarding the exact structure and content of the def file. - Is there any other thinkable way of manipulating the data model this massively?
