No. Maybe this message is more confusing than helpful ? Should we demote
it to a status line message ?  Or do nothing at all ?

will make that a fixed, sufficient, width

yes

What is displayed is native to the GNUmed database. Whether it came from
an external lookup or was user entered doesn't matter.

External databases are used as data source only.

At least GNUmed doesn't know of any (hence my offer off-list).

If you go to GNUmed / Master Data / Substances you'll change the
reference INN being linked to from various patients, yes.

It'd be possible but let's keep that for when we've got more experience
with the whole thing.

ah, those aren't connected up to the backend just yet, will be in 0.6, though

when editing a pre-existing item in the edit area this will indeed
revert to the database state, I'll check whether it is possible to
improve this with respect to the naming and tooltip

yep, there was a problem with detecting which row is selected

delete: the record will be gone from the current substance intake list

"mark inactive": the record will stay there but will not be shown by default

> Maybe a date field is missing from the Edit widget?

No.

> will Interactions? and Print buttons do something in 0.6.x

Yes.

Interactions will call upon the external database to check for interactions
of either all drugs (if < 2 rows selected) or between the selected rows.

Print will indeed create some treeware, eventually !  :-)
