How to unlock columns in subset

sfkeydel — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 16:01:36 GMT

Hello,

I'd like to do one of two things:

- unlock a column in a table subset

- delink the subset so that the columns aren't locked

I understand why this restriction exists, but I'd like to circumvent it, if possible.

Thanks,

Stefan

Hi sfkeydel,

When you create the subset you can choose to have it linked or not.

Is there some other process/script that you're not in control of that is creating the subset?

If you've already got a linked subset the only way to unlink it is to save it to disk, close it, and re-open it.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for this. My specific use case involves using the Data Filter, and then choosing "Show Subset" via the red disclosure triangle; in this instance, I don't see an option to link or not. However, your recommendation does the trick.

Thanks again,

Stefan
