Think Source-Linker has a BUG when trying to enter Death Date & Place.

It happened the other day while trying to enter the Death date and place. I just typed in Deceased and hit the blue button to enter, and found the person in the "Family Tree" and entered the Death date and place there.

Even though I have hit on the blue button showing Deceased, when I find the person in the "Family Tree" to enter their death date & place they are showing "LIVING."

Cindy Hecker said: I had this problem too last night with a few people. I try selecting deceased and I want to add a death date I have and it won't let me. I write in the box why I think they are deceased and complete. It lists the person as living even when I marked them deceased. I end up on the person page adding the deceased and death date.
