Substitute Track

I'm sure it's been discussed 100 times, but humor me for the 101th time...
I have an unknown track on a route.
I thought I could just clone one of my tracks and give my new track the unknown tracks KUID, but CM is too smart to be tricked that easily and says "Nope...wrong KUID".
I think there's a way to change the track (or any unknown object) in the config, but I can't figure it out.
Once I get my track to show up, I can then just do a Bulk Update.
Any help would sure be appriciated...thanks

To clone an asset, select the asset in CM, and up under the "Content" menu select "Clone". This will create a "new asset" under your user ID, which will be open for edit.
Open the folder titled "editing"
Open the folder of the new asset that is open for editing
Edit the config.txt and change the KUID number to the missing one
Move up one folder, then select the asset folder in editing
Drag and drop it onto the CM.
The new asset will have the new Username and KUID from the config.txt file. It will be Open for edit. If there are no errors, "Submit Edits"
If you will not be using your "New Asset", delete it.

Thanks!! I got to the "move up one folder" and I'm not really sure what you mean? I now have my "cloned track". I edited it with the missing asset's KUID. Saved and it's sitting in the "Open for edit" status

Highlight in CM and submit.

Sounds like you got it. "Move up one folder" means moving up from the KUID folder where you are editing to the Edit folder, where you can grab the kuid folder and drag it to CM.

Yup...Got it. Thanks for the help. Man do I miss the simplicity of '04 !

What about replacing the kuid in the config of the route, then doing a bulk replace then saving? Or doesn't that work?

A bulk replace should work, but then you have to save it out under your own userID. I like to avoid doing that because I want to leave the routes in the original creator's ID, and also avoid duplicates if the author posts an update of his/her route.
