By the way, Obrazell, I actually just decided to shift my approach on this slightly. If I understood you correctly, Greg preferred the idea of putting "IC 4617" in the Note field of LEDA 2085077. I bet I can guess why. I see now that by creating a new entry in the Supplemental list, I've basically introduced a total duplicate of the same object into the system. So observations reported of LEDA 2085077 wouldn't be reflected in the new IC 4617 object I created from scratch in Supplemental. So now what I decided to do was insert a reminder in the "Brief" note field of my newly-created object (in Supplemental) that says, "(reference only: Use LEDA 2085077 as primary)." In this way, if/when I ever search for IC 4617 in the Add Objects dialogue, IC 4617 will faithfully appear. I'll click "Add" and then, in my list, I'll see the reference reminder - and then I'll know to delete the reference reminder and add LEDA 2085077 instead. Then, for LEDA 2085077, I added IC 4617 into the *Brief* note field so it will at least appear that way in my tabular list of objects. I think this system will work for me. I *wish* we could edit the inner fields of the behind-the-scenes object-list tables, but Greg is probably afraid we would mess them up. hahaha : ) But this will work for sure. Thanks again for helping me get this.
