This is a new problem that has just started. When I copy a reference from one database to another, the reference is automatically assigned a new ID. Fine. But the old Ref ID migrates to the end of the title and into the keywords. Can anybody hazard a guess as to WHY is this happening?? I assume that this is something that I can tweak in the settings, but I’m not sure where to look.
I’m not sure why it happens, but it was happening to me also - I got it to stop by turning off field numbers in the view menu thanks to a post by PTravis from 2008.
Also:
In the dialog box telling you that the references must be assigned a new reference ID: select “None” in the drop-down meny “Field to copy old Ref ID”.
As the previous poster said: “None” is default when the field numbers are turned off and “Title” is default when they are turned on. I wish I knew how to change this. It’s really annoying.
