  Broken Links Fix Issue

Note: This issue is only valid for Sitecore CMS V.5.3.1

When deleting an item that is referenced by other items, the “Breaking Link” dialog offers a “remove links” option.  If this option is chosen, Sitecore may remove links to other items if they are stored in the same field but other numbered or language versions of the item.

The following package fixes the problem (so that the links are only removed from the version where the broken link is).

Note: remove the /sitecore/shell/override/Fix links.xml file before installing the package.

The patch adds custom Field Type classes and FieldTypes.config, see /App_Config/FixLinks.Readme.txt for details.
