Limiting reservations to 300, will make FamilySearch even more complicated for users

The goal is to help members find their ancestors and provide them with temple ordinances. Adding steps to the process, such as "Follow ancestors instead of reserving family names" is too complicated and confusing. Adding a Temple Ordinance label so you can filter for Temple Ordinances is also too complicated.

For those of us who are retired and do family history research 20-30 hours a week, you've made this too complicated. If I was hoarding names and ordinances, I could see the change. But I don't hoard names. I've had over 2000 shared ordinances and completed over 1100 in the past two years, in spite of COVID, but the new policy has required me to reduce my Temple Reservations to less than 300.

    Share them to the Shared with temple list. Then you can pull them back to your "My Reservations" list anytime you want as long as your list is below 300 rows. This will allow other family members to reserve them via Ordinances Ready or directly from the Tree while allowing you the ability to receive notifications when the work is completed.

    You can also share them to a Shared Family Group - they will stay on your "My Reservations" list until they are completed. Group members can reserve and complete ordinances.

    You can also share them directly to other family members to work on and they can maintain them in their own lists.
