Note field Lang = "" #806

Closed SaraMeiSL closed 4 years ago

SaraMeiSL commented 4 years ago

The language code is not set in the Note field, it is just left empty. As a result, when the LIFT file is imported into FieldWorks, a second analysis language is created as the language is not known.

Suggestion - set the note field language to be the same language code as the gloss language.

Currently, the project's analysis language is assigned to the note on any new entry (in DataEntryTable's addNewWord function). But you are right that entries created before notes were enabled in The Combine will have language="".

ok, thanks for the update! Seems that future new entries will be fine, so that's enough.
