Whenever possible use the [[Category:Quests|Quests]] window instead of the "[[Filtered Dialogue]]" window, the quest-window is better safeguarded against creating [[unclean dialogue]] that will conflict with other mods. If you edit existing quests or use the "Filtered-Dialogue" window, make sure you enlarge the [[FormID]] tab and have an eye on which line you're editing (You're not supposed to modify FormIDs that begin with "00" unless you want to create a fanfix-patch) | |||

* Move to Quest: Brings up a list of quests. Select a quest to move the selected info(s) to that quest (the topic will be automatically added to the quest if it is not already there). | * '''Copy''': Inserts a copy of the selected info '''''below''''' it. (Due to a bug in the CS only the first of the two lines will be marked as changed with a '*' until you save and reopen the mod, so it seems as if the new line was inserted above the original one, but a look at the [[FormID]]s shows you that this isn't the case. This is the main cause of dialogue conflicts. | ||
