Problem with the keylinks for the OT apocryphs

I have a problem with the keylinks for the OT apocrypha/pseudepigrapha (right now iv Ezra). When a text has a link to an apocryphal text, the pop-up and keylinking is for the Latin Vulgata version (SESB). I want to change this so that it opens up an English translation (Charles). I have managed so far to change the keylinking for the pseudepigrapha.


The problem seems to be that the OT apocryphs are not listed as a data type (though the NT apocryphs are) - and the books are not on the list (though I have them in my library). I have looked for Septuagint, LXX etc. but they are neither on the list.
Hopefully someone has a solution

    When you right click a reference look at the entry Selected Reference. If you see "Resource Link" then you have no control over it, whether it corresponds to a defined data type or not. This hard link will have a fixed destination.

    The Septuaginta (LXX) is listed under the bible data type.

    This works fine in Logos 4. Just promote Charles over your Vulgate and the 4 Ezra (and for that matter 2 Esdras chapters 3-14) will prefer Charles over the Vulgate. Logos 4 correctly handles conversions between 4 Ezra and 2 Esdras and so on, and the version of Charles for Logos 4 has both Bible and Pseudepigrapha milestones for the 4 Ezra section. The entire system for tagging Bible references was significantly overhauled for Logos 4.

    The apocrypha is part of the Bible datatype. Make sure that an English Bible with an apocrypha (NRSV, RSV, KJV) is promoted high on your Preferred list (at least higher than the Latin Vulgate).  The Charles Apocrypha isn't complete (e.g., I don't think it has 4 Ezra, aka 2 Esdras) so if you want to use it, you also need to have one of those Bibles prioritized right below it.

    Edit: I see that 4 Ezra is in the Charles Pseudepigrapha instead of the Apocrypha. I tried entering 4 Ezra into the reference field in the Charles Apocrypha and got nothing.  It would be nice if it would automatically switch to the Pseudepigrapha .

    Have you tried this in Logos 4? It works for me.

    Well I'll be. It did.  I could swear it didn't but maybe I did something wrong. EDIT: I think I might have entered 4 Ezra 1, which doesn't exist.
