Coming Soon: On April 2nd, all Suggestion Boxes will be migrating to The Network, Trimble's online user community. Your posts, votes, comments, and user accounts will transfer. This site will become read-only after the migration, and this banner will have a link to the new location for Vista suggestions.

    It is important to note the fields do have this flag behind the scenes, we just can't set it via the gui. I have overridden the flag manually to do what I need, but we should not have to do this. This would be a very simple fix.
