Does this also mean that whatever options I remove from a "Make Dropdown" they will still popup in biomart because the template is rebuilt from the data in the database on export?
I'm hoping not... Because as a workaround to using a temp table to build my dropdown, I though about inserting some temp data in the main table, do a "Make Dropdown", clean the options, do the export and then delete the dummy data.

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 best wishes Damian
