Mark exception for "not a person," "vacant," or other for one field, apply to the whole line!

Don't understand the need to mark exception for "not a person" and so forth 2 to three times per line. Once the exception is declared, can we not have the database apply the exception to the whole line?

It would also be nice if family review also dimmed out such "not a person" lines automatically -- with the option to restore the line and add it to a family if someone got the lines wrong with the exceptions (like highlight misalignments and the like).

Some of the underlying procedures you force us into unnecessarily lengthen the transcription process.
