Slight bug in attaching of sources relating to 1940 Census

Justin Masters said: I noticed a bug today in the attachment of people to the 1940 US Census. Most people will recognize that there's an entry for a residence in 1935.

I've discovered that when a 1940 residence is non-standardized,


and you make it standardized in the new source attachment screen,


doing a subsequent (because it's next down) 1935 record attachment w/non-standardized place (ie, same house), the 1940 event place reverts back to the non-standardized entry from the source, and it again says "No standard is selected." on the 1940 source attachment.

Justin Masters said: I also noticed another bug in this area...
When I've gone through this exercise with one spouse similar to above, the other spouse gets attached with a "saved" version of the 1940 census location that was standardized with the other spouse, but I'm UNABLE to edit the 1935 entry which shows "Same Place".

From the picture below, you'll remember that Ward 3, Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids City, Kent, Michigan, United States showed as non-standard. Here it keeps that event place, and auto-populates the Grand Rapids, Kent, Michigan, United States (standardized) name (which is fine), as they're both in the same place. But, this spouse could conceivably been living elsewhere, but when it shows Same Place (1935, same as 1940), then I can't modify the 1935 entry, even though it shows "Nonstandardized Place".

Justin Masters said: It appears that someone has modified the code as the behavior is "more correct" now, but after changing another person in a record from a Nonstandardized Place to a Standardized name, it keeps that from one person to another.

Except, on the subsequent person, it now doesn't allow me to change "Same House" (changed in the prior person's record) to that corrected name as well. (which makes sense, since they could have not been born yet, or indeed lived in another place), but it's staying with "Same House" and NOT allowing it to be changed, and continuing to show a Nonstandardized Place entry. message.

Justin Masters said: I just found ANOTHER bug in this area.

Watch the marriage "transfer" to a different couple...

Here's the marriage of the three respective people (Same wife, two husbands highlighted)



I attached a source with the Keil husband, but the marriage info from the Hagbom marriage is showing.



But the marriage info doesn't "stick".. which is good... but it shouldn't be showing anyway for THIS marriage, because there is NO marriage info here.

When I show the correct marriage, the info is shown as seen below.



This is the 3rd bug I've found in this source attachment area... I wonder if I can change the subject line now...

Does this happen with anybody else? Here's the link for the attachment of this record.

(I'm switching husbands with the "less than sign" seen in the little brown box under the word "Detach"

(It won't let me include the less than sign because it looks like the beginning of some html code)

I just refreshed the page, and it doesn't do that behavior now. So maybe a bug on initial attachment of the husband with switching between husbands?
