Hi everyone,
I'm working in Texts and Words, and importing Standard Format Interlinear Texts, but there are certain fields which don't appear after the import.

For \rf, the FW Destination is 'Reference'. But I can't see the location of 'Reference' in Texts&Words. 

Then I have another field I want to import, which contains the original recorded orthography, but there aren't enough destinations available when modifying the Mapping. I've tried creating a custom field (which appears in the Gloss tab) but that custom field does not appear in the list of mapping options. 

Both of these fields do successfully import when I'm working in Lexicon, but not in Texts&Words.

Any suggestions?

I basically want to end up with a text which has this kind of structure in the Gloss tab:
1.1 Word/Sentence
Morphemes
Gloss
Free translation
Literal (original) translation
Original orthography
Note
(Source&page) reference

1.2 Word/Sentence
Morphemes
Gloss
Free translation
Literal (original) translation
Original orthography
Note
(Source&page) reference

etc.

Thanks in advance,
Ellen
