I did a really Dumb thing! And I don't even remember doing it, but the evidence is there. I had two custom Source Templates that were very similar to each other. I brought both into my Project and started to use one of them. Then I did the Dumb thing. I deleting the wrong template in my Source Templ...

Thanks.
I'll sit tight and keep my fingers crossed that maybe, one day...

If I have both MH and FMP enabled, it shows a blue icon, and when hovering over the icon, it shows the FMP hint and a notice "MyHeritage Searching..." If I only have MH selected to enable Web Hints, then the small round icon is grey with a small clock shown, which will disappear after a while. (see ...

The wise owl comes through again!
Thank you Mike!

Now, in layman's terms, why did this happen? And not just to me, but to you also??

I created a support ticket stating the facts as per the conversation in this thread; asking for confirmation of the problem, and that they please consider fixing the problem now, or at least in the next release version.
I'll post what I find out.

Thank you Bill.
I will fill out the necessary report. Since this is my first time reporting something to CP, would it be a good idea, Mike, if you would also make a much more informed report of the problem?

Is this a new problem with FH7, or has this been an omission since FH's inception? It's hard to believe I am the first to run into this, but I did search everywhere and did not come up with any discussions of references.
What is the process to report problems to FH?

I could swear that I saw somewhere something about sorting dates - No, wait... It was a way to turn the date field so it would read for e.g. 1884/08/23, or something like that. Or maybe it was somebody wishing it would be that way?? I would think this would be an important option! Oh well, I appreci...

Here you go...
and yes, that is how it is sorting.

Thank you Gowermick! If I sort using the Column Header and with the dates in their "normal" format, they do not sort by chronological date because they are listed, for example, as April 19, 1895, which will sort by the Month, Day, Year. I would like them to sort by Year, Month, day, so they are list...

In my Source Records window, I have a date column I would like to be able to sort chronologically. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Perfect! Thank You. That solves my thinking of whether or not to use the Witness feature for census records. There is no sense in using the Witness feature in this situation if I use the Text from Source box as you suggest. Also, it gives the actual wording of the census for a true interpretation! T...

Is there a down-side to using the witness feature in FH with a census created in AS using method 1? I know it is not necessary, since the persons are already linked via the source, but it seems an easy way to see who else is in a particular census. For instance; if I see that Johnny Peeps has a 1930...

For those interested in the Census Tab for USA, it is now available in the Knowledge Base here:

For those new to updating the Title after making changes to the Source Template Record (see below) - you have to tap the Cog button twice in order for the change to take effect. First you must remove the Autogenerate Record Title check mark. You then need to add the check mark back for the changes t...

I got it working by realising my mistake and swapping out Location with Jurisdiction after making the screenshot, and then I realised the title I was looking at had been manually adjusted and was not showing the revised title properly. Thanks for the even neater way of displaying this. I now have a ...

Now that it is working (Thanks again), I still don't understand the Help file's explanation of HOW it works. I want to understand the logic so I can apply it to future situations.

HOLD THE PHONE!
It works! I had done an oops in my entering.
It works Great!
Thank You!

Thanks, I guess I never noticed that cog wheel. Sorry Guys, but I'm still struggling. I am using {Jurisdiction} for {Place}, as shown below. I've tried inserting {JURISDICTION} into the function, but that didn't work and I suspect I may need to swap my {Jurisdiction} with {place}, or can I change th...

Jim Orrell, I store my PLACes in Highest order first with strict comma separation e.g. England, , Greater Manchester, Bolton, Westhoughton:Chequerbent, Brancker Street, 51 England, , Lincolnshire, Lincoln This is exactly what I am trying to accomplish, for the same reason, but only to the Places det...

I am following all the parts of Mike's instructions of using the =TextPart(...), but for the life of me, I can't find the ...

the Title must be updated using the cog Autogenerate Record Title option.

I can't find this under any of the cogs, or in the help or KB??

The reversal and USA omission will only be used in the Source Record field as shown below.
I should also add that some of the records will be originating from AS - but that shouldn't make a difference, I don't think.

I am trying to reverse how a Place name appears in the Source Records field. I have "Grand Rapids, Kent, MI, USA" I would like the USA to not show, and the order to be reversed, such as: "MI, Kent, Grand Rapids". I found a reference to a Qualifier in one in the forums called TextPart that may assist...

I recently saw neil40's "Census UK Tab - my take" entry and downloaded his template and modified it for the United States. I made two versions of it. One is from 1790 to 1950 and the other is from 1950 to 1790. I will use the latter since most my research in the USA is after 1880 and this puts the p...

That worked perfectly!
Thanks!
