Place name errors introduced in xls export
I noticed some strange place names in records I exported to xls (Search/Preferences/Export)
It occurs when the place is not a Standardised Place Name.
Example 1. Place Name in the tree ", Yorkshire, Yorkshire (West Riding), England" exported as "Cleveland, …….". Note the comma as the first character.
Example 2. Place Name in the Tree "Darfield" (alone, no other text) exported as "Darfield, New Zealand " (Standardised place should have been "Darfield, Yorkshire,…."
The problem appears similar to what happens when a spreadsheet tries to look up a value in a table which does not contain the value.
Could the original text in the tree be exported? And also, could the person's reference number (nnnn-nnn) be included in the export to facilitate users standardising the place names?
The ", Yorkshire, Yorkshire…." place name is very common on the UK 1851 census. About 10,000 instances.
