    Default New Sheet fields won't update from template?

    I have made a sheet set that I use, BUT when I add a sheet or save an existing sheet with a new name and edit the fields thru the SSM, It doesn't take?
    I have to edit the fields in the drawing by right clicking the field, pick edit field & then point to the correct file in the field editor box.
    Why don't my fields update after I edit from right clicking the file in the SSM?
    This is also true when I add a new sheet, which is the template I created to use for this purpose.

    The only thing that works correctly are the fields, drawing file name & the fields that are Sheet Set controlled.
    Not my custom fields which are sheet specific?

    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks, Mark

    Can you post some screenshots of the problem fields, etc.?

    Sounds like the layout is not associated with the sheet set. Verify that the layout (sheet) you see in the SSM is the exact same filename and path of the drawing that you are working on.
    I've had users get things mixed up and a particular sheet in a sheet set was pointed to a layout with the same name, but in a different drawing.

    They may also be referencing a specific sheet within their Sheet Set, which is hard-coded by GUID in the Field code.

    Here are screen shots of the Sheet Property & SheetSet Property dialog.
