What happened to source attaching?

Fred Meese

There are a couple of problems with the system today.

1. When attaching a source and adding new information on the record. In the past the system would show you the information being added and allow you to standardize it right then and now. Today the information being moved to the record is moved as recorded in the source and without any chance to see or standardize it. As a result you now have to go into the record and do any modifications at a latter date. Also if the information, such as a baptism, exists already you can not see the data and decide whether the data needs to be added or skipped.

2. When attaching a source there is a problem in the center of the screen where the source info and record info meet. It is overlapping the data and it can not we seen very well. If a detach message is shown it overlays all the info and it becomes totally unreadable. See Screenshot 2021-09-13 at 16-00-38 Source Linker — FamilySearch org.png
3. When the source provides information about a new person and you select ADD, it does not work. I have a descent internet speed and it has never taken more than a minute to add a record. Today I have waited 3-5 minutes and the spinning wheel never completes the addition, not even brings back a screen showing what is being added or if the record is already created.

Thanks for your help. I love Familysearch normally.

@Fred Meese as of today, I am able once again to standardize information as I attach the source.
