Retain Column Orders
Determines if changes made to the column order of already imported metadata are retained when importing Metadata again.
The setting provides the default for the Column Orders checkbox under Retain Existing Metadata in the Import Metadata settings dialog. Only the value Y checks the box. When the box is checked, the import keeps the column order already recorded for existing objects. The value is read for the selected connection and project, so it can be overridden per connection or project.
When to Change This Setting
Enable it when column ordinals have been changed in BimlFlex after the first import and a repeated import of the same source should not reset them.
