Hey, I've been trying to get this to work to no avail. Can anyone shed some light on how to link text from the revision table to a given note? "Link Table Cell" doesn't work for revision table for some idiotic reason.. "Link to property", even when I choose the property in the table and on the note, doesn't work Anyone have any idea how to do this?
