deleting a relationship

I accidently added my husband and it somehow listed him as my fathers spouse and I can not see how to undo this….help!

Hi You need to go to the person page for your husband and edit the relationships by deleting the relationship with your father and then adding the relationship with you. Here is a link to more detailed instructions.

The feature to correct spousal relationships in Family Tree is not working as designed right now. Please give FamilySearch about a week to get it fixed. Thank you.

The problem came up in the WikiTree Discord, and I promised to come report it here, but it sounds like I don't need to?

I figured out a workaround: someone had accidentally entered a pair of siblings as each other's spouses. "Remove spouse" isn't working, but "replace" still is, so I first replaced one sibling with a placeholder spouse (name = Nobody), then went to that profile and replaced the other sibling with a different placeholder spouse (name = Niemand). Then I went to Niemand's profile and used "delete person", and that made it available on Nobody, so I deleted him, too.

As of today, the work-around by using replace doesn't work anymore also.😥
