allow the burial/cemetery name to be added to the person record from the source record. It is already allowed in the mobile version, but not the desktop version. The cemetery location is added, but not the cemetery name.

    Source Linker adds burial locations just fine, and I can add a (fictional, in this case) cemetery name without trouble. What is it that the app is doing that the website isn't?

    I'm sorry, but in my opinion and from my experience, the source linker doesn't do a great job adding burial information to the burial field in the profile of an individual record. It "strips" the cemetery name and also appends "United States of America" which results in a non-standard place name in the burial field. Of course, the burial field can be edited to make it standardized, but that is additional work and most don't bother.
