export and then import with field values set to none Aug 30, 2020

Not a straightforward way, but you can export the TM into a TMX file, and then import it. Edit "Apply field values" to blank values during the import process.
You may give it a try though I haven't done any test.

Don't have that option Aug 30, 2020

Thanks, George. I've tried that but it doesn't give me the option of leaving custom fields blank.

edit "Apply field values" Aug 30, 2020

I made a screenshot.
When going through Step 3 of import process, click "Edit" to edit field values.
field values

If you need a separate TM, you may create a new TM then use it to import the converted TMX tm.

Don't have that option after Edit Aug 31, 2020

Thanks George. I can get that far but it doesn't give me any more oprions after Edit. Can I ask you a favour? If I send you the TM can you remove the fields for me?

No Problem. You can send me the TMX file by email. I'll see what I can do. Sep 1, 2020
