We have a client that wants all text with text fields in them to be replaced with the value of the field. You can kind of get there with Drop Complex but that drops the text node as well, and apparently each field is a separate text entry in the text node. So if you have a text node:
Text here then a [FIELD1] with more text [FIELD2]
Drop complex gives you 4 separate text elements. My proposed Drop Field would replace the text fields with their values but retain the text node as is.
CTDOT is also very interested in seeing a resolution to this.
It now takes 3 clicks on each note that has a leader and will be very time consuming for our users.
1. Drop association (if this is not done when dropping complex, the leader turns dashed.
2. Then you have to Drop Complex Twice to get it to drop the Fields. This switched the color of the Text from Blue which is standard for our call outs text to grey.
I also tried another work around... in the Edit Text > Text Editor, Cut and paste unformatted. This kept my text blue and removed the fields. This worked best but again very tedious for the user.
We need to be able to make a selection set and click remove fields.
