All of a sudden today all Sources now show "unfinished Attachments" even when there are none. It seems to show on every record I looked at.

    Someone else just posted the same question -- so maybe there is something going on today in Family Tree that is "off?"

    This sometimes happens to me. From what I know Family Search does this so that you can double-check the information you have attached. Did it say anything about the information that was attached being wrong or maybe belonging to a different person? What I do is detach them and then reattach them. What I put for my explanation of detaching the document is that I am trying to reattach the document.

    Sometimes not everyone on the record had the document attached to them. So even though Jane Doe had her marriage record attached to her. Her husband John Doe did not, so they are asking you to attach it to him.

    We found the record of Adam Hunter Van Orman L5TV-PGW in Family Tree and yes, when you click on the Options feature to show unfinished attachments, that option appears for every source, even if it's not applicable. The KA says that if you don't want to see these messages click the option off. Another alternative is to Dismiss.

    Not sure if this answers the question?

    Yes, I believe something is going on in the system. I've experienced the same thing; it's not on all sources, but 90% on one particular account I've been working on suddenly (June 24th) began showing Unfinished Attachments on many of the source documents. None of the "web page" sources show this message, of course, but MOST ALL of the FamilyTree sources do! I believe this is a system problem and should be looked at ASAP.

    This problem has been fixed. For example: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/sources/L5TV-PGW
