Using principal's note info in witness sentences

Post by JoopvB » 24 Jul 2015 15:36

I've become a happy user of the note field in combination with "Getparagrah" to create sentences. But I now got stuck trying to create a "sell" fact type where one (or more) person(s) sell(s) a property to one (or more) other person(s).

The sentence (1 to 1 version) is like this:
{date} {individual} sells < to {role=buyer}>< for the amount of {=GetParagraph(%FACT.NOTE2%,1)}> {value} {place}

Here the first line in the note field is the price.

In the sentence of the buyer I would also like to use the price and, hence, refer to the principal's note field (with the GetParagrah function because there are/may be more lines).

I've become a real believer in the flexibility and power of FH, so I gather it must be possible, but I can't find out how. Help is very much appreciated!

I believe this is an outstanding bug in FH V6.0.4 as described in Referring to the Fact Note in role sentences (12069).

Calico Pie should be aware of it, but an Email to support@family-historian.co.uk would remind them.
