So I need to keep a ref count in the record to balance the calls? I think I get what you’re saying but I’ll try it tomorrow.

I have no idea what’s happening with this drama but hopefully it cools down so you don’t have to remove features or abandon work. Personally I think they’re a great feature and have lots of potential.
