Yes that’s it.
Yes I’d do that, some other’s have a different way they like to do this.
Yep, so guess what your session comment should be on your very first session? It should be “Original Settings” because the task at hand is to read the settings from your hearing aids, make no changes, and save the settings into the first session that will be forever tagged as "Original Settings".

Again yes you can that, no problem.
Today (1/15/2023) I saved my hearing aid settings to client Joe Blow;
At the beginning;
At END FITTING;
Next time you connect;
Saving to a separate client name is a bonehead idea that shows you don’t understand the purpose of your database sessions. 
Image if your audiologist did this? He might have a database that looks like this;
- John Smith’s little brother
- John Smith
- Joe Jones’s Little brother
- Joe Jones
Bonehead? but yeah seperate clients is the way for most, we’re not an audiologist clinic, were DIY, this shows you dont understand DIY, you want to do it the bonehead way, good for you.
I think that reply was from John Smith’s little brother 
Ha ha, well at least you still have a “FunnyBone”
Don’t forget to tie a string around your finger as a reminder for what the heck that extra client name was?
btw> Sessions are never overwritten so what was saved into your first session will always be sitting there in your first session! What better place could you possibly invent to save your original settings?
tenkan and pvc - Really helpful and clear! Makes much more sense to me now. Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail like this.
When I make multiple clients, I put the name as what the session is as it’s easier and quicker to see.
I’m only programming my own Aids so I don’t need to put my name as I know it’s me.

No one is saying don’t ever use multiple client names!!. If a DIYer wants to go off on a tangent and experiment with something new (for example; in-situ) then it makes perfect sense to add a completely new client (Joe Insitu) for this branch of testing. I do this myself.
I am only saying there is no better place than (session #1 with a comment=“Original Settings”) for storing your original settings.
OTOH; if you don’t want to understand the way sessions work (with the expansion arrow and session comments), then you could not use any sessions at all. Instead, you could store each and every fitting into a different client, for example (Joe One, Joe Two, Joe Three).
But don’t tell me that it’s a good idea to recommend this method to new DIYers.

Oh, great! Now I have two of them. 
I’m sorry that you don’t understand. I am guessing that you don’t want to understand because it’s not really complicated as you claim.
- Teaching newbies to ignore database sessions is a dumb idea. Sorry, I won’t stand for it.
- Teaching newbies how to use >expansion arrows and session comments so that they can learn to use sessions correctly is a better idea.
To be continued… I dunno? Maybe?
It’s not like they’re gonna be working as an audiologist and program other people hearing aids so does it really matter?!
Also you won’t stand for it?! Well it’s up to them unless you want to police them and harass them?!
If they find a simpler way to do things then that that is okay? But police them for whatever reason other than to please yourself!
I haven’t used session comments in over 10 years and it hasn’t mattered!!

You have misunderstand my (won’t stand for it) comment. Newbies can do whatever they want. It’s not my job to police them. My job, (if I choose to accept it ) is to prevent our anserBots from giving bad advice to newbies.
Suggestion: Youse guys should stop making up stories about what my motives are. Policing newbies? Wow, that’s pretty far fetched. Do you get it yet? I’m not policing newbies. I am policing our anserBots.
How do you know? I do. I know other DIYers that do.
You speaking in the 2nd or 3rd person now?
We’re really sorry that you can’t understand.
Ha ha , what a crack up, nobody cares if you “stand for it” or not,
Who said we shouldn’t do this, oh that’s right, you were talking in the 2nd person mode again.
To dam right it’s not your job (thank god), to bad you seem to think it is tho, this is why it’s important to stop the “bad advice” being given as “only I know what’s best”
Holy cow mate, this is definitely serious.
Narcissistic personality disorder
We have reached the sentence-by-sentence ludicrous stage. I rest my case 
for now anyway
DIYr in search of Genie 2, My copy crashed and Oticon has changed their policy re software. Can anyone help locate a copy?
