Correcting records - Can't edit Marriages in New Edit screen
To begin, I am working in German language records, translating as I go, and many have only the month and day listed, but no years since they are at the top of each page. They are very difficult to locate like this in a search, so I've been adding the correct years when I can. The new Edit functions are great for births and deaths, the dates are in the Essential Information and are easily added to. However, the marriage date is not available to correct in either the bride's or groom's entries. I can't find the date anywhere to edit. When I add a date, by adding an event, I'm still unable to use the date when attaching the record to a person in the tree. There is a dropdown box of unusable corrupted dates. I will post a link to an example record. I added an event (marriage) date to Heinrich Gottlieb Both here, and entered the entire date. It doesn't transfer to his wife. You can see that everyone on this page has a date entered, but the years aren't included - and you cannot edit the date in the index, at least as far as I can see. Can anyone help?
check the following link's dropdown box for the marriage date: Nov 2010, Nov 1910, Nov 1810, Nov 0010, von 1589 bis 1808 (that last one is for the collection itself) [it is currently indexed as "Nov 10" with no year, my added date is not here] and then step through trying to correct it. The old edit screen allowed me to fix it.
if you view the source linker, the date there is November 2010 rather than November 10.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I'm missing something. I do several of these each time I'm doing a session, so I've just had to stop fixing them since the Edit functions changed. Thanks for your help.

I'd like to correct my post - the date I entered is there on the record page as "marriage date". The "event date" is still wrong, however, and that's the only date that the linker wants to use. It's that "event date" that needs the year added but I can't access it.
