Final Draft import not accurate
planned

I hear you. FDX importing is more tedious and imperfect than it should be, and a lot of that comes down to the file structure of Final Draft itself, which makes reliable parsing actually really difficult. We're actively working to optimize the importer as much as possible within those constraints.
We'll share updates as improvements land.
Thanks so much for your patience.

FDX tag imports use wrong name text
Craig Foster
Go into tag mode in Final Draft. Select some text e.g "phone". Rename it to "KATIE'S phone" in the Navigator. Not import the FDX. Elements will be named for the selected text ("phone") not the tag name ("KATIE'S phone")

When I tag in Final Draft, elements are not coming over. Cast is coming over but some are missing in some scenes.

Any progress here? I'm having the same issue.
