Importing Variables into files in Groups or Folders

[Martinek, Carla]

Could someone else give this issue a try on their machine before I put a bug report in?

Just looking for a third-party validation.

Thanks,
Carla

Subject: Importing Variables into files in Groups or Folders

I've got a FM10 book... up until very recently, we avoided using Groups or Folders in the book file because we needed to use the Archive plugin, which wasn't compatible. Rick Quatro's new script takes care of that problem, so I grouped files for my 500+ file programming guide to make life easier.

I've just discovered that I can't import a user variable setting into any files that are in a group or folder in the book.  I've tried importing from a top-level file, a file within a folder or group, and even setting a folder to subscribe to a template file with the correct settings. Variables *will* import into top-level files in the book without problem. Only files in groups/folders are affected.

Coworker managed to discover that if the files in the folder/group are *open* she could import variables, but not if closed. My system would not import whether they were open or closed.

My system:
FM10 - 10.0.1.402
Win XP
Dell T5400 w/Intel Xeon E5405 @ 2GHz
3GB RAM

Coworker (working remotely)
New Dell engineering laptop (don't have exact specs, but it's at least as good as my desktop)
Windows 7
FM10 - 10.0.1.402

Am I crazy? I can't believe I'm the first to find this problem, but I don't see any mention of it in the archives.
