Source Linker not attaching 'Others on Record'.
Using the new Source Linke, I cannot match 'Others on Record" to existing IDs. Census data was the source record. The persons are clearly a match but the Linker 'rejects' the placement of a person in the source data to the corresponding name listed under the 'Family Tree' Column. I tried creating a new ID for the source data person, then merged that ID with the family Tree member, but the source data still lists them as 'Others on Record' and in attempting to match again, the message 'This source is attached to someone else in the Family Tree: (with name & ID of family member)'.

I've had similar issues, especially in a household with a "blended family" - stepfather or stepmother, with the children from a previous marriage(s). I usually resort to switching back to the old source linker, but I know the issue needs to be fixed before the old linker is retired.

If anyone has an example of this case, we are still trying to track down an actionable example where we can see what is going on.
