Hello: we are having some issues with our agendas and hoping you might be able to help. I've attached:

An example of our agenda for our next meeting. When we pull the agenda up online, the Speaker #3 slot has auto changed to Speaker #1 (so we basically have Speaker #1, Speaker #2, and Speaker #1. We've tried creating a new template but as soon as we copy it, it reverts back to the same issue. When we print the multiple sign-in sheet, Speaker #3 does show up but the name of the person who has signed up for Speaker #1 slot (in this case Lenka Leon) doesn't show up.

Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

The bottom line is that the 3rd Speaker role looks different to the computer code because you have a hyphen and some other text in it after the number. For the computer code to automatically re-number the numbered roles, they have to look exactly the same except for the number, or the software thinks you are starting a new series of numbered roles and restarts the numbering at #1. This requirement for some conformity is essentially the "price" you pay for the agenda automation provided by the system.

It occurred to me that I could maybe add support for adding the asterisks to the role so you could essentially say "only consider the part between the asterisks", but there is not currently any support for using asterisks for numbered roles that I am aware of.

So... your options are to:
1) Get rid of the text after the number for the third speaker role. (you could put it in the role description instead)
--- OR ---
2) Just shut off the Auto-renumbering via the checkbox near the top of the editor. Of course, that will affect other agendas, also.

This is an interesting case that makes me think that maybe we should add support for asterisks in numbered roles... If you agree, please submit a Improvement Suggestion about that in that forum section so it does not get forgotten and others can voice their support.
