Ability to correct indexing and/or data entry errors

Merlin R Kitchen said: I greatly appreciate the ability, on some records, to correct indexing errors, and was pleasantly surprized to find out that if an indexing error is corrected on a source which has already been attached to someone, that the attached source is corrected, as I have corrected a census indexing error that was already attached to some members of the family (but not all) and I went to look at the source on the persons that already had the census attached, and the wording was changed with the correction as if the correction had happened before the source was attached.
.
Now for a complaint. some census, such as the 1930 census does not allow correction to the indexing, but rather lets you correct the year of the census (never will happen) and the locality of the census (never will happen).
Please go back and alter the software to allow corrections to the indexing errors on all the census records at least for the name and age.
My example: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1...
The family surname if Truax and the handwriting makes it look like and it was indexed as Fruax

Tom Huber said: The means to correct any indexed fields is relatively new and still in the process of being fully developed. At one time, we were told that the ability to make the changes were applied to individual indexes, so some of them will not have that ability. This is especially true of indexes from other sites, such as Find a Grave, and so on. Only indexes produced by volunteers at FamilySearch are available for correcting and then only if the ability has been "switched on" for that index.

I have used this capability may times and appreciate it very much.
But my point is that some census collections have the ability switched on, but only for entries that do not make sense, like the 1930 census I gave as my example, where you could change the year of the census (nonsense) and the place of the census (also nonsense.)
I, and I assume most others search a census using the name as the primary search term

I repaired the error.
