Transferring models: confusing warning message
Posted: 24 Feb 2022
Hello, I am using the built-in transfer models functionality. After selecting a source master, I get this message:
"Some pairs already exist in this master.
Would you like to keep or update the values from the other master?".
What does this mean? "Keep", meaning I keep the current (target) master values? Or do I "keep" the values from the other master, and overwrite the values in the current master? Or do I keep (stop) the values from being overwritten by the other master's values?
I would suggest the following:
"Would you like to keep the values for these pairs in the current master, or overwrite them?"
Even as a native speaker, I find the ambiguity of English to be extremely annoying sometmes :)
