New Change Log is missing entries

The new Change Log is missing the original entry of all the Vital information and since those are not there, there is also no restore link for that original data. Seeing that data all together as it was first entered is critical for determining the intended identity of a very confused conflated profile.

Hi Gordon,

You are right that there is no restore available.

As for all the info that was added at the time of create, we have collapsed that down into a single entry.

As far as original intended identity, would you want the ability to see the original intended identity from the changelog?

That original intended identity screen is great summary of who the person was created as! But where do you access it? Or is it not actually released yet?

However, I think you should stick with the philosophy that the Change Log preserves every change ever done to the person including showing of all the original vitals. Never hurts to have all information every where one would expect to see it.

Since some of the information missing in the new change log is also missing on the Identity page, is that page still under development?

I can see why the deceased notation doesn't really fit, but the birth date should be there. Or is it missing because it was never standardized? If that is the case, then I would also say that the information in the Identity page needs to be the displayed information, not the linked standard. I'm sure the birth date was added at the original creating of the person as the profile appears to have been generated from attaching a source in the source linker.

This is a very important issue when determining if a profile was hijacked and converted into another person. This is an issue that the Dead to Living team deals with regularly.
