Since version 3.4.9, you can now modify the default Field List to suit your exact needs simply by binding an ONIXEDIT Export Script to your report. As you surely already noticed, the default Field List provides only the most common ONIX fields that you may need. However, if you created an export script with very specific ONIX elements or even XPATH columns, you can now associate your export script to your ONIXEDIT report. To do so, just click on the following button that is shown in the Field List header:

A standard Open File window will appear. Locate your ONIXEDIT Export Script and open it:
