New Android App Editing Vitals Bugs

From a person's profile, when you click on a vital detail (birth for example) to edit it, the list of supporting sources is there. But the details from those sources about that vital statistics aren't visible anymore unless you look at each individual source. This means that it's no longer possible to easily compare data from different sources about that vital (and much more difficult to identify records that have been attached to that profile incorrectly).

This is also true when you try to edit a vital from within the source linker (the only details about that vital that are visible are from the record you're currently working with in the linker instead of all of the records' details being visible. Or sometimes the details are only visible in half or fewer of the other records, and it's not a problem with the tags because I've checked the tags). This is going to make it easier for a person to change a vital to match an incorrect record as they are attaching it incorrectly, because there won't be the conflicting information visible to them.

When editing vital information, sometimes different birth years, names, etc., appear under different records. I believe that this is data not from the records of the person that I'm editing, but data from a different recently viewed person. It doesn't match the correct information on the records attached to the person, even though it looks like it comes from the records attached to the person. The vital information from records is all mixed up on the new version of the android app.

    @Merry Gravett Is this still happening? It was updated 3/10.

    This was fixed in the Android Tree app version 5.0.2 back in early January.
