Marriage fact: listing the names of all witnesses

Post by JohnJ_au » 30 Dec 2014 07:24

The marriage fact allows for a number of possible witness roles: bridesmaids, priests, rabbi's etc.

I can get a list of the names of all the bridesmaids (say) with {role=bridesmaid} but I want to modify the sentence to refer to all witnesses regardless of their specific role. Apart from listing all possible roles (role=bridesmaid, priest, rabbi, ......} is there an easy way to get a list of the names of all witnesses?

TIA ... John.

P.S. these forums rock !! Thanks to everyone for their assistance with my queries !

It looks like the method you are using is the only way according to the Help in Template Codes for Role Codes.

When the dust settles on FH V6, try submitting a support E-mail to Family Historian.
Either leaving the parameter blank {role=} or using a wildcard {role=*} are possibilities.

Thanks Mike. I've found a "workaround" by limiting the role inclusions to just those I need, but I will forward your suggestion to Calicoe Pie when I get a bit of spare time.
