Source linker problem when attaching Find a Grave sources.
Sex is showing
Sex search.hr.person.
This is recent problem I thought would go away when attaching Find a Grave source in record KDS4-MXX.
When attaching her birth source it looks like it should and her obit.
This might be a third party only issue like Find a Grave.

I too have seen this in recent days. I think it's been mainly with Find A Grave sources. Here is an example record (Record ID QPRC-VH2H):
Like most Find A Grave sources, this record does not specify the sex, nor does the FG website itself.
When I open the source linker to attach the record to the relevant profile (G94C-1RN), this is what I see:

I'm also seeing it with New Zealand, Civil Records Indexes, 1800-1966 sources, which also do not specify the sex of the principal. I will flag this discussion as a bug report to get a moderator's attention.
[Edited] But wait, there's more. When I search for historical records, any resulting record that doesn't specify the sex of the person displays "Sex: M|F|U" in the result.

The issue has been raised in the Source Linker Feedback group and is on the list for the engineers.

@JulianBrown38 is this still happening? You mentioned it in another discussion. I tried to replicated from the
New Zealand, Civil Records Indexes, 1800-1966record collection but didn't get any that showed the strange gender reference when I tried to attach them through source linker. If you find some that do this, can you add screenshots?0 -
@Sam Sulser This error only displayed in Search Results for persons indexed without a gender:
It's now been fixed:

@SerraNola I know it was fixed but we had a report that it was still happening so I was just following up to see if something new was going on. Sam 😉
