After the 11.0.3.0 update, I am now getting a weird page and extra steps in data entry whenever trying to add a source. Example: step 1 I select Misc. Source for example
I’m on a Windows 11 machine and have had no problems until the update. Did something reset? Hopefully it’s something I can change to make it go back to the original state. Thanks!
There are two different workflows that can appear to be the same but are not.
Make a new source and citation. Namely, select a source template, make a new source, and make a new citation.
Make a new citation for an existing source. Namely, skip the part about selecting a source template and go straight to selecting an existing source, and make a new citation as with workflow #1.
The workflow you described is the one I called #1. I think the workflow you are looking for is the one I called #2.
I could be wrong and RM actually could have changed, but that’s my best guess.
To answer your first question, I’m assuming it’s the update because I use it daily and it happened right after the update. For the second question, it’s #1, where I am setting up a new source and citation. However, after I posted the question this morning, I found its happening for cases that fall under #2 now also.
See if enlarging the height of the Add Citation window makes a difference. Above the short footnote is a vertical bar with 4 dots. It can be adjusted. I think its been raised up all the way. If it won’t straighten out go to a main view in the program and use the key command Ctrl+Shift+U, select “Reset Column Widths”, close and reopen RM and see if that makes a difference.
