MADIS function is captured by retrieve data configuration

This has been true for some time...

If you do a MADIS "data get" in a script, when the script gets to that line it will just simply go to whatever box is selected in the retrieve data option in the menu, and get THAT data. It seems hooked together in a way that maybe it shouldn't.

Workaround is to set up the MADIS get in the manual retrieve area, making sure the box is checked, and leave it that way for the script with the same desired data get happens. But that limits full flexibility (you can't run a different script with a different MADIS data need), and was not probably intended in design.
