Karen Sorry to say but it is you who is not reading the Crossover options correctly when you want to update FH. There is no need to create a new bottle each time if you select the correct options. As I said to you on FB I can run either of the two backup / restore plugins on Crossover so I suspect t...

I suggest a separate topic Colin as it is irrelevant to John's question

I put it here as Nick said he would consider it in the future in the original post and thought it more appropriate than starting a new thread as this may be something for Nick to consider.

Nick

Whilst you are considering things to add could I suggest a couple?

With the 1939 Register add Unpaid Domestic Duties to the Occupation automatic drop down?
With the 1921 England Census add Home Duties to the Occupation automatic drop down?

This would speed up data entry if it is feasible.

Chris

Expanding on Lorna's comment have you had a look at a YouTube video I did some time ago about using Auto Source Citation? It may give you a quicker way of working in the future.

Colin, if the plugin creates a Baptism event (as shown in the Facts tab) then it can do nothing more. The Focus Window display is down to FH and cannot be affected by the plugin. Mike, the first entry I made did not put anything in the Main tab > Bap: field in the focus window. I have since created...

Norman I tried your Generic plugin today to create a baptism entry. It created the fact but did not put an entry in the Bap: field in the Focus window. Is this something I did wrong or a problem with your plugin?**** Just did a second entry and this time it did put the entry in Bap: so must have bee...

@Normie

I had a play with your Probate plugin yesterday for the first time and it does make the creation easier, however there is no field for the Effects: entry. Would it be possible to add this?

Helen

Your last proposal sounds good to me.

To further enhance it a 'house keeping suggestion'

In the Plugin Maintenance and Plugin Development forums once testing/development has finished on that issue then add to the thread title something like "Now Complete" and then lock the thread.

I have seen this several times in the last few days using the external browser option. Clearing FindMyPast cookies in Firefox sorted the problem for me.

What about Tools > Work with Data > Places select the place and then select Where Used on the right side. That pops up a query window with all the records that use that place then you can just double click on the item in the query window to see the record.

Nick I had the same issue today. I thought it was JOOTT. Steps I took Entering 2021 England census I entered the data and made a mistake putting the Employment location in the Ages of Children input box. I did a CTRL x to cut it to paste into the proper input box I got the same error message Clicked...

Thanks for the replies, I had never explored the groups before, a good work around.

Is there any way to add a custom query to the View menu in the same way that a Plugin can be added to the Tools menu?

Yes I do always check Nick and correct where necessary.

Yes her marriage was 9 years before the census. It also automatically showed her as married when I selected and inserted her.

It was more about should AS have picked it up or not?

I have been entering some 1921 census records. I have a woman who is a widow as the head of the household. At the time of the census she has a married daughter staying with her along with 2 grandchildren. I created the census entry and the grid correctly changes the surname of the widowed head of fa...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions all of which I had or have tried.

I suppose this post was more of frustration having paid to upgrade my subscription I have been disappointed with some that I can't find and pleasantly surprised at the additional information that I have found for others.

I have started running through my project tracking down all those that should be in the 1921 Census in England. I have been surprised at the number of people I have been unable to find given that i have them in both the 1911 and again in 1939. I have also found a few horrendous mis-transcriptions th...

This is my revised Wish List entry proposal from earlier ... Add an option to disable the Rich Text Formatting feature for new text, presumably in Tools > Preferences > Notes. Ideally, that should be a per Project option. Mike Sorry I don't agree with this being per project. It needs to be per fact...

Sorry I should have mentioned that It overwrote the original template that can then easily be restored once you have entered the military census. I had looked at the XML file and didn't find an obvious way to differentiate this to the standard England 1921 Census. Thanks @Mike for suggesting changin...

This is for AS you need to import it into the census templates.

I came across a census page for one of my relatives in the military in 1921. The military census pages are different to the usual Englan census pages so I modified the template to suit. Attached here in case anyone else needs it. (Note: this is the latest version of the template as at 10 December 20...

Nick

I will try again later and let you know.

Nick

A little anomaly in 7.6.4 in a Win 10 VM.

If you enter a Note before you do Auto Text you get a warning that it will overwrite an existing entry when there is nothing there.

Nick

Unfortunately no luck with v7.6.4. Clicking continue just brings up the same error when you try to access an individual.

I have v7.6.3 up and running on Crossover on a Mac. Yesterday it was working fine with the same Gedcom. Today I am getting the below error. I have the debug details saved if they help.
