* Editing a witness sentence

[Jenny143]

I have just tried to create a new witness role to link people on the same census entry and I got the sentence wrong. I know I can edit individual sentences but I can't find how to go back and edit the default sentence as you can with fact sentences, or alternatively delete that role and start again.
Many thanks

Jenny,

I believe to change the default sentence you go to Tools>Fact Types... and chose the fact type whose witness sentence you wish to change. Highlight it and click on Edit.... The witness sentence is part of the overall sentence for that fact type.

For example, for marriages, this is my sentence template.

{individual} married {spouse/her/him} {date} <at {address}> {place}. <{role(single)=Best man} was best man. ><{role(single)=maid of honor} was maid of honor.> <{role(single)=bridesmaid} was a bridesmaid.> <{role(plural)=bridesmaid} were bridesmaids.> <The marriage was witnessed by {role=witness}.> <The ceremony was conducted by {role=minister}.> <The ceremony was conducted by {role=priest}.> <The ceremony was conducted by {role=rabbi}.>
