Unlink field templates without losing Information no longer possible?

Question

In GroupShare 2015 it used to be possible to first link a TM to a field template (in order to not have to enter all the fields manually) and then unlink it without losing the Information in the fields. This seems to be no longer possible in GroupShare 2017. Is that true?

Hi Johanna Mauch , 
 I checked with our development team who clarified that this is in fact intended behaviour. When the field template is unlinked, GroupShare assumes that you no longer want the field values and therefore removes them. 
 The problem was that it wasn't warning people in previous versions so they were inadvertently losing data. 
 So the answer to your original question is that no, it is not possible to unlink a field template in GroupShare 2017 without losing the field values. 
 Kind regards, Nick

Hi Johanna Mauch , 
 Which exact version of GroupShare 2017 are you using? 
 There was a bug for this (CRQ-5965) which was fixed in GroupShare 2017 SR1 CU9 . 
 Kind regards, Nick
