Yes -- that is indeed the conceptual plan. Problem is, within IXgen there several ways this could be done and several different places where it could be done. Even for a very "simple" change like this, UI and coding permutations expand rather quickly, and then one must be very careful. We elected to roll this into a future IXgen release, when a regular development/testing cycle would be in place. I also recall now that when this issue came up with one of Rick's clients, we provided a n/c IXgen 5.5 license for them to use when TimeSavers would be downstream. Bracket processing was added in IXgen 7 to support several new features of IXgen. At that time we were not even aware of TimeSavers. As an indication of the rarity of the problem, more than three years of IXgen 7's release passed by before the issue surfaced. Hope that clarifies a bit more.
