Migrated from FTH3 – Separate Table Topics Master roles keep auto-assigning the same member

15 Nov 2026, 1:51 a.m. · 14 hours ago

Hi,

We have been having an issue assigning different members to multiple Table Topics Master roles in the same meeting and I thought it was something we had set up incorrectly in FTH4.

However I've been through creating new Table Topic roles, making sure that they are not auto-filled, and yet they still assign the same member, whereas on the previous FTH we had two table topics sessions assigned to two different members.

They have different role names in Table Topics Master - First Session and Table Topics Master - Second Session. I even created a new role that was defintely not autofilled and yet it took the same member when added to the agenda.

Thanks for any suggestions you can give.

Karen.

Toastmasters International only expects one Table topics master per meeting, that is the way FTH4 was designed.

You actually have 4 Table Topics Master Roles defined, at least take it down to 2, and see what happens. remove Table TopicsMaster and Table Topics one session.

Thanks for your reply.

As far back as I remember we've always had two table topic sessions because they tend to give evaluators the chance to write down their evaluation after the speaker. It also gives two people the chance to do the role in one meeting. Of course we could do this in the old version of FTH.

I think we actually had 5 different Table topic roles. I've deleted 2 of them.

I can't delete Table Topics Master - One Session because it's been used in an agenda somewhere. I went through the templates and it's not there so I've no idea when that role was used. It could have been a long time ago because we have a lot of meetings in FTH.

Deleting the other roles has made no difference.
All Table Topic roles have no autofill now.

Any other suggestions?
