I would suggest the ability to distribute custom names for custom fields by way of exporting some kind of settings file. This would be helpful both for multiple users and for multiple projects by the same user.
I have developed a custom citation style that uses "Custom Field 8" as a switch to turn on features used to format Ancient and Medieval references, while "Custom Field 9" is used as a switch to turn on options for Multi-Volume References. Obviously, it helps to rename the custom field according to these uses, but there is the inconvenience of having to do it manually for every individual project. Furthermore, all other users of this custom citation style will have to manually change the names of the custom fields.
I have tried to find where the names for the Custom Fields are stored, and I’ve looked in the different settings files (EngineSettings.cus, FormSettings.cus, UISettings.cus, and even WordAddInSettings.cus) but haven’t found the custom name for the custom field in any of these. The closest thing that I can find is in the USSetting.cus file:
<ReferenceTabFieldSettings_AutoShowFieldsWithValues_1>True</ReferenceTabFieldSettings_AutoShowFieldsWithValues_1>
<ReferenceTabFieldSettings_FieldPropertyIds_1>["Notes","Language","CustomField8","CustomField9","Doi"]</ReferenceTabFieldSettings_FieldPropertyIds_1>
<ReferenceTypeSelectionDialogSettings_FavoriteIds_1>[16,14,4,5,10,7,12]</ReferenceTypeSelectionDialogSettings_FavoriteIds_1>
But I haven’t been able to discover where the customized names for "CustomField8" and "CustomField9" are stored. (I am assuming that those locations are then accessed by the next line of code concerning the ReferenceTypeSelectionDialogSettings_FavoriteIds_1)
Anyway, if you would consider including "Custom Field Names" among the Settings that it would be possible to Export and Import (https://www.citavi.com/sub/manual5/en/e ... files.html), there are some of us who would find it very useful!
