Custom Character Data Type Unable to Sync to Scrivener

[OrdinaryDreams]

Ok, I messed things up, and I’m hoping someone can point me to how to fix my oooops.

I created a custom Character data type because I wanted to try some things and didn’t want to mess up the default one. Then, after I made all the changes to the custom one and had it working (except for trying to sync), I eventually ruthlessly deleted the original data type because I wasn’t using it anymore.

Silly me.

Later, I tried to adjust the sync settings to sync the new custom character data type to the character folder within Scrivener. However, the character data type does not show in the “timeline item type” dropdown.

I know now I should have just made all the same changes to the original character data type, moved all my characters back to that type, and deleted the custom one instead. The ol’ 20-20.

All the other custom data types I created (department, position, pursuit type, and personification) show up as options and are syncing fine.

Any suggestions on how I can get characters syncing again?

Some more info in case it’s helpful.

(1) The custom character item type shows up in both Event Types list and the Person Types list. If I untick it under Event Types, it unticks under Person Types (and vice versa).

(2) My custom character item type “has relationships to Events called” …[many relations] …contains the relationships I have left after I culled the ones didn’t want – but in the stock item type, these were in the “has relationships to People” field, which is disabled in the custom one.

Ack! Nevermind, I’m going to start a fresh timeline and try again. Feel free to delete this. :0)

[EditToAdd] I think I found what was tripping me up. I was ticking the “chronological order always” box, just because I like to be see all things with dates in chronologicla order. But when that is ticked, the software moves it to an Event type versus a Person type, though it still showed up in the Person type because it’s category was Person. If I leave that unticked, all is well.

Good problem solving.
