Indexes Losing Gender of Individuals After Editing

marcoreid1

I've noticed an issue in recent days, that sometimes while I am making corrections/edits to indexes for documents I'm working to attach, the gender of all individuals on that record will suddenly disappear. There will be no history of the change, so looking at the change history it will look like there should be a gender, but none will exist until I manually add them back in for each individual. It seems to be happening about 10% of the time now when I edit a record. Here's an example of one such record where I lost gender data while working with it, and manually went in to add the gender back in to each individual:

Has anyone run into this and is there anything in particular I can do or avoid doing in order to decrease or eliminate the chance of it happening when I am editing an indexed record?

Thanks!

@marcoreid1 I will look into this and get back to you.

@marcoreid1 I haven't been able to replicate this error so I would just ask you to let me know if the data loss continues. In looking at other marriage records for Cremona I notice a lot that are missing gender, but—as you mentioned, nothing comes up in the change log.

Thanks for helping me out by digging into this issue.

As I have worked through some records in recent days, I've not run across this very much at all, much less frequently than prior to my first post. However, here's one that occurred just now as I was working in a volume:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G97S-SLHD?view=index&cc=1987747&lang=en&groupId=

What's more, I looked around at all the other records in this small volume, and it appears that ALL the indexes that had not previously been linked to a person also lost their gender at the same time. The linked (at the time of the change) seem to all have retained their gender. No idea why that is, but it may prove useful in diagnosing this issue.

I'm going to start adding genders back in as I work through this record.

Thanks!
