Spurious **** relationship warning when adding a child

In the source linker, I was attaching a baptism source from the England, Lincolnshire, Parish Registers, 1538-1990 collection. The child Elizth did not already exist and, when I clicked ADD, the resulting dialog in the side bar displayed this message:

This change will create a **** relationship between Elizth Riley and UNKNOWN.

This has started happening in the last few days.

    Thomas Bowdler lives!

    The message seems to occur only when the record does not specify the sex of the child.

    @JulianBrown38 Engineers are aware of this and I believe it is related to other instances where gender is not specified and presents itself in creative ways! Thank you for helping us stay informed.

    According to this thread

    the gender issue may be fixed.

    Yes, let's hope the fix took care of this one too.

    @SerraNola Unfortunately, no. This is still occurring when I attached a source from the same collection a few minutes ago.

    There is another similar issue which I mentioned at the end of a comment. In that case, there is an unexpected display of "Sex: M|F|U" in the result list of search of historical records when the source does not specify a sex. That would not seem to be related to the source linker. It is also still happening.

    @JulianBrown38 I know they are aware of all of these but don't have an update on the status.

    I replied to your second comment in the other post you referenced but on your first comment, I went to the link and opened the source linker and don't see what saw when you attached it. If you open the source linker for that source, does it still show the weird gender reference? Has it other times you've seen this? Any screenshots would be great! Thank, Sam
