Source file System field in SDLTMs

Hi,

Creating a new idea just for the Source file System field in Studio.

Please do consider having a Source file system field in SDLTMs which capture at least the file where that segment was first created. Filepath and name would be ideal but filename is already better. It's a very useful piece of information which is available in the TMX file but not visible in the SDLTM format.

There was a recommendation in a previous post to use the Record source plug-in for it but this is key functionality that is missing in Studio. Besides, the suggestion of a plug-in will not do much, as that is not something that can be deployed in TMS TMs.

Thank you once again for considering this enhancement.

Kind regards,

Miriam

  • I would like to bring a bit more attention to this. The functionality provided by Record Source should be made available in Studio out of the box. Record Source does not work with GroupShare TMs and having a easy way to store ProjectName and FileName as fields in the TM is important. Studio TM Fields can be used for the ProjectName, but for filename this is not really feasible there is a lot of manual work needed, while Record Source does this automatically.
