Editing

srfs

I was so sad when new source linker was down today. But yea it is back up again ... but now I am sad that the different notices with editing pens are not showing up for areas where the source and the person information are different.

I loved being able to add to information while attaching a source. Previously had to copy information and go to person page to add or correct names, dates and locations.

Please please put the different notices and pens back for every area that is not exactly the same. 😀

@srfs The fix to New Source Linker has been applied and Dates and Locations are being saved from Source Linker to the Person ID Page. Please provide any any feedback.

The editing of information when different on either side of the source linker is being erratic. Here is an example:

Note the birth information for the father and the mother. This is found at: https://www.familysearch.org/search/linker?ark=/ark:/61903/1:1:68Q4-H7NG&id=KCGQ-FD6

Macbook Pro, Apple M2 Pro, Retina Display 14-inch (3024 × 1964), MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2, Safari 17.1.2.

Correct, "different" information is erratic ... note the Death info above. I LOVE being able to add to or correct "different" information while attaching sources.

The determination of what's different appears to be ignoring places, or "blank" matches everything in that field, or something.

Can we please just either have or not have editing rights via Source Linker? Why is the computer trying to limit editing so nonsensically?

Different is now working properly. You can edit anything that is not the same.
