How do you hide an empty spouse box when displaying a family tree?

If a child dies as an infant or at a very young age, there is no way that child will have a spouse. When displaying a landscape or portrait view of the family tree, it would be nice to set a parameter to NOT display an empty spouse box for deceased family members who never married.@FamilySearch Tips and Tricks​ @FamilySearch Family Tree​ 

 

Is there a way to NOT display an empty spouse box?

 

Thank you!

    If I recall this has been, raised; discussed; and, debated, before in the OLD 'FamilySearch' ("GetSatisfaction") 'Feedback' Forum.

    .

    FYI

    .

    Just saying ...

    .

    By "Design" ...

    .

    BOTH, the "+ Add Spouse"; and, the "+ Add Child", displays, NEVER disappear/go away, for anyone; even, for Children that die as Infants.

    .

    Basically, it is the "KISS" principle, that applies.

    .

    Remember, "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is a FREE website (for all) by the Church; and, is NOT a "Subscription" (ie. "Paid") website, with unlimited funds/resources.

    .

    It certainly would be nice ...

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    There are many competing priorities in "Family Tree" (and, the OTHER Parts) of 'FamilySearch'; and, there are very limited resources available to 'FamilySearch'.

    .

    There are many other more important things that need, addressing/fixing; or, implementing.

    .

    Such may even be on the 'drawing board'; but, it would be a very low on the list of priorities.

    .

    But, we can certainly live in hope.

    .

    Just my thoughts.

    Thank you, Brett. I appreciate your quick response! It wasn't the answer I was hoping for, but it certainly makes sense.

     

    Thank you again, Anita
