Source is broken in new linker, working in old
https://www.familysearch.org/search/linker?ark=/ark:/61903/1:1:QK1Z-PGMX&id=GCDG-1ZP
In the new linker:
"Sorry, we can't open Source Linker. We've looked at the data and something isn't right: John Hankyns (GCDG-1ZP) is a parent to Edmund Hankyns (GC41-P3T). Thomas Hankyns (GDMF-BNS) is a parent to Edmund Hankyns (GC41-P3T). It could be that a name was left out of the record or that it wasn’t entered correctly. We'd love your help reviewing the family and correcting any mistakes that you see."
Toggle to the old linker and it works fine.

The Source linker "sees" a potential tree data problem.
We've looked at the data and something isn't right:
John Hankyns (GCDG-1ZP) is a parent to Edmund Hankyns (GC41-P3T).
Thomas Hankyns (GDMF-BNS) is a parent to Edmund Hankyns (GC41-P3T).
It could be that a name was left out of the record or that it wasn’t entered correctly.
We'd love your help reviewing the family and correcting any mistakes that you see."
Edmund Hankyns (GC41-P3T) was born 1535 when one of his listed fathers was 10 years old. John Hankyns (GCDG-1ZP) was born 1525.
Thomas Hankyns (GDMF-BNS) is father of both Edmund Hankyns (GC41-P3T) and John Hankyns (GCDG-1ZP)
The pedigree needs to "fixed"
This seems to be a welcome feature of the new source linker

It's a source for a single person... one index... and it's being intentionally blocked because one of that person's sons -- who isn't in the record and isn't being linked -- has two different fathers assigned. You're saying THAT is supposed to be considered a feature?
You know, usually one of the best ways to resolve conflicts like when a source in the linker helps figure it out, comparing names and dates, etc. This blocks you from even seeing it.
Anyway, I also just checked and it blocks it even if one of the fathers has a step-relationship set, so this is broken regardless of intent.
I shudder to think what will happen when it tries to load a census report that includes a few dozen unrelated people (like a school, hospital, prison, etc.). We're going to be expected to solve the conflicts for everybody listed just to link one person? This is going to cause bad merges and reckless editing (more than usual) when people get frustrated that they can't just link a source.

An update to impossible relationships has been added. You will now see the names that need to be corrected, but you will be able to ignore the error and continue adding the source.
