Attaching a Census Record No Longer Creates and Populates a New Residence Field?

Starting about two days ago, when I attach a Census record, it no longer populates the Date and Place in a new Residence field, like it used to. What is wrong? Here is an example.

1930 Census record appears in Research Help:

I click on the 1930 Census. The "Attach Historical Records to Family Tree" screen appears. But the date and place no longer appear in the left column, where it used to appear.

I click on "Attach". The 1930 Census no longer appears in Research Help, the number of sources increments by 1, and Source Added appears in Latest Changes. But there is no 1930 Residence in the Other Information section:

This could be related to the defect I reported earlier today about the Find A Grave Burial Date and Place not populating.

    Something is apparently broken with source linker.

    I have noticed the exact same issue. It also happens in UK census records.

    I have been manually adding the location/residence data but I am sure that I am not getting them all.

    This defect is still happening intermittently. Here are two examples from today, an 1850 Census and an 1880 Census.
