ok - I see what is going on now. We introduced this new templating system
recently (mainly for our own ensembl needs) which changes the way
MartEditor handles things. What it boils down as a consequence of all
this is that on export each config gets updated to the real data so you
lose your 'dummy' data. Its a shame as that was a neat trick you were
using :-)
I can't really think of an easy way round it at the moment (apart from the
obvious data redesign) but I will have a think. MartEditor will get
reengineered in the very near future so hopefully this functionality will
get returned
