Bug: Unable to attach marriage date and location with Source Linker

Anne986

I have noticed this bug in the past week or so. I used to be able to add all the information from a marriage record, including the marriage date and location to the spouse with the Source Linker. Now, when I try that, I get, "Something went wrong. Try again later."

Example: marriage record with Samuel as primary person and Elizebeth as spouse

Attach Samuel as primary person: works
Attach Elizebeth as spouse including marriage date and location: fails
Attach Elizebeth as spouse excluding marriage date and location: works

A work around:
Attach the primary person (Samuel) for the couple as usual.
Attach everything except the marriage date and location to the spouse (Elizebeth).
Make the spouse (Elizebeth) the primary person.
Detach the new spouse (Samuel) and attach again with the marriage date and location.

I have encountered the same problem with the 1900 census, which includes the marriage year. I am unable to attach it to the Marriage Relationship. However, the same work around does work for these records, too.

I have been having problems too, especially with the marriage records. Interestingly, when I keep trying, it usually works on the 2nd or 3rd time.

I am also frequently encountering this error ("Something went wrong. Try again later.")—particularly when attaching marriage information. If I retry without adding the marriage information, it always works, and then I have to manually enter the marriage information. This seems to be a recent problem (last couple of months).

The work around is to change the focus person to the spouse, and then attach the spouse.
I will flag this so the engineers know to take a look at this.
