Add Other Relationship function doesn't appear to be working
I tried multiple times yesterday to use the above feature to add the names of enslaved people to one of my husband's ancestors and I just can't seem to get it to work. When I posted about this in the Facebook Family Search Users group, someone said that she's had problems with it on and off for the past 2 weeks.
Here's what I do. I start from the profile of the enslaver, scroll down to the "Other Relationships" section, and choose the the label "enslavement." From there, I add the PID of the enslaved person.
I click "Add Match" and get the following window:
I click "Save" and get a failure notice:
I tried 5-6 times yesterday throughout the afternoon and just tried twice again today.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug?
TIA!

@lyleblunttoronto1, just wanted to let you know that this new function works great! Thanks for getting this fixed.
Do you know if they are still considering other tags to include for this feature? I remember there was a discussion about this some time back with several great suggestions offered.

Yes, they are still considering more options for other relationships. Witness seems to be at the top of the list.

Witness would be helpful for noting connections via baptisms, marriages, wills.
Do you know if they are still considering a tag that would denote connections between people who immigrated/migrated together? I've found records for people who came here aboard the same ship originating either from the same town or a neighboring town and ended up in the same area in the US. Sometimes they share the same surname but I'm still working on whether they are or if they are related. "Neighbor" doesn't fully describe the connection.
Thanks!
