Adding people via Source Linker is still broken, unpredictably.

Juli said: I successfully added this person's mother using Source Linker, based on the indexed passenger manifest, but I can't add his brother from the same record:


I don't use Source Linker much ('cause very little of what I'm working with is indexed), so I don't know whether the old bug was never fixed, or has cropped up anew.

Tom Huber said: This looks like the same problem I encountered with this process quite some time ago (a year or so). The problem was that I could not add information to the modal window and have it be recognized. In addition, I could not scroll it to the point where I could get things to work correctly. If I remember, there was some additional stuff under the (currently grayed-out button.

I don't remember if that original problem was ever resolved.

Jeff Wiseman said: I see that the attachment has succeeded now. Did you just add a Reason in order to get the button active?

Since Josef had no birth date entered in the record, the FS software can't reliably apply the 110 Year rule. I suspect that since it could not determine that, it wanted a reason documented.

Juli said: Yeah, I added a period in the reason box to get him created.

Lack of a birthdate doesn't really explain it, because Teresa didn't have one, either. (I've since browsed through and found her marriage and a bonus daughter as well as the two sons; there are probably more kids, but this is a side branch to a side branch, so I'm not likely to pursue it further.)
