Why can't we delete names from our Completed Ordinance list after we check them?
At one time, we were able to delete our family names from the Completed Ordinance list after we reviewed the information. Now we can not personally delete our completed names from the list.
I'm hoping this option can be returned to FamilySearch.
I use the Completed Ordinance list to double check each name for possible family members I've missed. I've been very successful in finding many family members this way.
I have 27 pages of Completed Ordinances with names being added daily to the list. Not being able to choose the option of deleting names, that I have doubled checked, has caused loss of time checking names more than once or ending up with a paper trail method to double check names.
I was wondering if the option to choose to delete completed names could be returned to FamilySearch?
A sincere thank you for this excellent program.

The Completed Ordinances list is new - released earlier this year. Prior to the list each person would receive a notification message showing the completed ordinances and those messages could be deleted. The new Completed Ordinances List is not a message, it is a permanent list. Users still get a notification message that ordinances were completed and it now links to the permanent list feature. You can still delete the notification message that redirects you to the list, but you cannot delete the list.
The list shows the most recent 3,000 lines of ordinances from the past 25 months that you have completed. You can view the list by the individual ordinances, or group them by the person's PID. When viewing by the ordinances, they are sorted with the most recent ordinances at the top.
