Hi, I have two minor issues with the flashcard system:
1-Think this one is a bug. When reviewing flashcards, if I touch one character and the popup opens, some of them have a link to other words inside (underlined pinyin, see attached file). If you touch the link, the dictionary opens but the popup keeps on the screen.
2-When reviewing flashcards, sometimes I want to change the dictionary entry, so I do it with the "plus" button. But at least in the entry of the attached files I have tried to change it but remains the main dictionary definition in further sessions. I have, in Card Text options- Remap cards to dicts: custom first

@Miguel - sorry for the slow reply.
1) That does look like a bug, yes.
2) The "remap" setting will override any changes you make (since the current card definition is replaced by the remapped one when the card shows during the test) - if you want to customize card definitions during tests then I'd suggest leaving "remap" disabled.

Hi Mike, thanks for your help 
. I have CC as my first dictionary option (mainly because is short and has classifiers) and PLC as my second (when I want further explanations and sentences). I'd like it to be like that in flashcards too. If I turn off remap the flashcards show the PLC definitions instead of CC. Is there any way to have customized definitions and in case there is no one make the card get the CC one? (I think this was possible in Pleco2)
And what is the use of custom first option?

Sure - that would be pretty much how you configured it, custom first (= use a custom definition if there is one) and CC at the top of the remainder.
It's just that the remap overrides whatever definition is on the card, so if you change the card to use a different dictionary it'll still display with the remapped one during the test. (We should probably put up a warning about that, actually)

Then if I change the CC definition to use the PLC one (in this case this would be a custom definition, right?), why do I still get the CC definition when I have the custom first option enabled?
For example, in the pictures that I sent, with the HSK2 得 (de) I have changed the text of the flashcard to show the PLC definition but when I review the flashcards I still get the CC one. Is this the way it has to be?

Sorry, no - a custom definition is one that you wrote yourself, one not attached to any dictionary.
If you want to be able to choose whatever dictionaries you like for your flashcards then you should turn off the "remap" option - the whole idea of that option is that it overrides whatever is configured on the card.
If you have some cards with blank definitions that you want to switch to using CC, you can do that through the permanent "remap" command in Edit / Batch.
