Other Parties; adding from Invoicing doesn't load correct information if Default Table under Global options defined incorrectly

From the Invoicing form you can create a new Other Party from the current Arrangement details.

Under Global Options, OP tab the "Default Table" setting defines where the information is retrieved to default for the new Other Party.

If blank, the normal setting, the Next of Kin details from the Arrangement table are used as the defaults.

If you enter another table name then a record for the Arrangement in that table must be found for it to work correctly. If the Arrangement has no information in this table yet, eg if the minimum details for the Arrangement have been entered, then this defaulting does not work correctly.

To recreate:

1. Set "Default Table" to "CAUSE" in the OP tab of Tools, Options.
2. Create an Arrangement, only enter the first and last names.
3. Click "Charges" button.
4. Tick 'Create a new invoice or credit' and click 'Open'.
5. Click * to Add a new Other Party.

The information displayed for the new Other Party is missing or garbage and the email address is shown as the Branch the Arrangement belongs to.
