Action: Have a census record open in Source Linker
Click Add+ and "Add to Family Tree" panel slides open
Date of Birth is 1910 or later (under 110 years)
Click "Deceased" radio button and "Living" radio button gets selected instead
Click "Deceased" radio button again
Enter "Reason why you think this person is deceased" in text box and "Create New Person" button activates.
Click "Create New Person" button - ("Deceased" is still selected)
New person is created and is marked as Living

We then have to navigate to that record, edit "Death" and change "Living" to "Deceased"

Whenever folks don't (notice &) navigate to the new record to fix it, those records will be erroneously marked as living.

I'm running Firefox 75 64bit on Win10 19569 pro x64.
Same thing happens in the android app 3.1.2 (3.1.2 because the latest android update ruined record attaching)

    Also CANNOT enter any death info (suggesting that the Living button is being selected), though a reason can have info entered.
