I've been reading about using custom columns for relinking and decided to give it a try. I'm on Ver. 6.5.4.7. I see on the recently posted 8.5.1 What's New that in 8.5 the process has been simplified but I'm required to run 6.5.4.7 for most projects. I go to text view, choose "custom" layout and then tap on the headings bar and type in "Link". Link appears at the top of the column and I can look in the choose columns menu and I see it at the bottom of the list. At this point I save the project and go to another bin and go to choose columns but I don't see Link as a choice. If I go back to the bin I created the Link column in I can see the column choice while in that bin. I can save a layout called link and then open that in another bin and then the column choice of Link appears in the choose columns. I would think once I created a custom column it would appear in the choose columns list in all bins regardless of the template chosen. I figured I would add a custom column and then just go to an existing bin layout and just add link to the columns but that doesn't seem to work. It seems that I have to start with the new Link layout and then add all the other columns I want to that. I've tried this on a few systems and they all behave in the quirky to me manner.
Is this the way it's supposed to work?
