John Farrell

John Edward Farrell

• This is another deal breaker for v.15. I can't even make the following list of links active in the selection list so that I can make them all parents of John Farrell.
• 2026/8/4/ This is still an issue, not being able to use the "Add to Selection" for text links that are located inside a table.

• Can't undo paste table and other things that can't be undone in v.15.0.563

• I asked AI Cerebro to help me and this is the response. This is just way more effort than it was before in v.14.
• 2026/8/4/ I am still have issues with this also. Cerebro AI, needs me to hold it hands because it is afraid that it might create duplicates. So I have to approve each one before it will proceed. I put this restriction on Cerebro because I now have over 300 duplicates.

AI Cerebro: I can definitely set those up as parents of John Farrell, but I need to know exactly which thoughts those season links point to.

From the note, I see the internal brain:// URLs, but when I search by the slug part (e.g., ClevelandIndians1987, DetroitTigers1996) there are no matching thoughts in the current brain. That means at least one of these is true:

• The target thoughts exist but under different names than those slugs, or
• The links in the note are pointing to thoughts in another brain (the host/brain ID in the URL is different from this “Baseball” brain), or
• The target thoughts haven’t actually been created yet.

To proceed correctly, I need one clarification from you:

Which of these should we do?

1. Use existing thoughts in this brain
2. Tell me (or paste) the actual thought names/IDs in this brain that correspond to:
   • Cleveland Indians – 1987
   • Cleveland Indians – 1988
   • Cleveland Indians – 1989
   • Cleveland Indians – 1990
   • California Angels – 1993
   • California Angels – 1994
   • Cleveland Indians – 1995
   • Detroit Tigers – 1996
3. Once I have the names (as they appear in your plex) or their GUIDs, I’ll:
   • Locate each thought
   • Link each one as a parent of John Farrell.
4. Create new thoughts here and link them as parents
5. If you want fresh season/team thoughts created in this “Baseball” brain, I can create eight new thoughts with those exact names and make each a parent of John Farrell.

Please reply with either:

• “Create new thoughts with those eight names and use them as parents,”
• or
• A list like:
  • “Cleveland Indians – 1987” = actual thought name (or GUID)
  • …

Once you confirm, I’ll set up all the parent links for you.

So, I was still seeing blank columns in the table, until I closed the Plex pane, streching the Content/Notes pane larger and then the table adjusted and now I see the text in "red" letters. However, I am not seeing your header text. It's invisible again or not there anymore.

I can see why this is confusing—the behavior you’re describing (things appearing/disappearing as you resize the pane) is consistent with a rendering quirk, not the underlying text being deleted.

• My earlier header replacement didn’t “stick”; the current header line is again just ||||... with the table directive.
• All minor‑league fielding rows (with league and team links) are still there.

So: no data rows have been removed; the issue is purely how the header lines and the table directive are laid out, which TheBrain’s renderer is apparently treating strangely depending on pane width.

2. Why you might see “invisible” headers

Given what I see, your experience likely comes from:

• TheBrain v15’s note renderer collapsing or hiding text when the table directive and header/info are not in the exact pattern it expects.

• The odd placement of :(table="..."): (on a data row or shared with a bar-only line) plus the custom :{...:(style=...)...}: styling around links, which can affect color/visibility.

• The raw text is there or present but not in a true header row (for minor league sections).
