Keeping select parameters filled by autofield in previous exec when removing autofield

Hello,

I have a table with many columns. I use autofield followed by a select in order to get the proper field types and size.

For performance reason, I want to remove this autofield when going live with my workflow.

Not sure I'm clear :

How can I easily copy these parameters computed by the autofield tool in order to reapply them to the select when autofield is removed, either one shot manually or better dynamically.

Thanks.

Anne

Can you save the field types with a Select tool, remove the Autofield, and load back in the .yxft file?
