Jim,
I confirm this with 4.2Gd. Field and column attributes that were there
before (set with 4.2Gc) remain, but the property editor is now not saving
any new settings to the DFM. It's a bug.

I don't know the format for entries in the ColumnAttributes, so I can

If you want some guidelines as to how to set these properties in code, grab
the TechInfo sheet on Fields and Parameters.

Don't despair - losing the convenience of the property editor was not
intentional. If it's urgent and you need the means to revert to 4.2Gc
before Monday US time, contact me privately.
