disabling/hiding replicant buttons in the dct

msa02

Hi,
Is ther any way of hiding or disabling the replicant buttons in dct?
I have one dct type to create some english version of dcr. Another one I have is for non-english dcr's which presentation template generates in the background. The dcr's with non-english text at that time have emtpy text fields which should be filled in by translator. I need to keep them in synch i.e., both should have same number of replicants.

Is there a way to disable or hide the replicant buttons in the dct (in this case the dct with non-english text)?

I do not believe there is any way to hide/expose replicant buttons.
If you specify min/max values - then the buttons will be bounded in their usage (i.e. if you have min=1, max=10 then you will not be able to click on the 'X' button if there is only one instance nor will you be able to click on the '+' button if there are already 10 instances in place)
If you're using TS 6.5 (or later?) then there are a number of FormAPI event handlers added for dealing with replicants which may make it easier for you to program in the logic such that if a replicant is added in one section, that you add it in the other section, etc. I'm not saying the logic is trivial, but it will make it easier for you to ensure some degree of consistency between the different replicant sections of the DCT.
