Title: Is a qualifier GA003S01 always necessary?
Post by: Trevor Ellis on November 14, 2010, 02:51:19 PM
Having done quite a bit of work using GA003S01 I wondered what members and especially George would think about a potential, small amendment.  Would it be possible to program so that a 'qualifier' isn't always needed. For instance in 'Colour Group', an entry would normally output as say 'Colour Group :- categorize (or whatever) as red'. I feel that a qualifier is superfluous in this instance and 'Colour Group :- red' would be all that's needed. It just seems a bit more direct and clean to read. There may be many more instances where the same might apply. Would an option button for 'No qualifier' be to anyone else's liking too?

The design requires a Qualifier Trevor.
A lot (and I mean a LOT) of coding is structured around that and it would be much to big a job to make a change

Fair enough George. Will just continue to adapt.

Best regards

I will take a look at it, when I get back to the next upgrade, Trevor.
May be able to define a special qualifier which would be ignored in display and printout. The "qualifier" would still be resident in background keeping the workings of the software happy.

Sounds good George but if it's not easy to do please don't spend hours over what's only a nicety. I just thought when I posted initially that it might be a simple tweek.
