Marriage detail in Chart boxes

Post by tmwgray » 25 Feb 2017 11:56

Is there a way to get the marriage details in the box of the direct family line?
The marriage details seem to appear in either the direct line box or the spouse one at random whether male or female.
I would like to see the descendants box contain the marriage details and not the spouse.
I have looked at the box content option but cannot see one that would meet those conditions.

Any advice on this.

I presume you realise that their are three commonly occurring box types with different coloured backgrounds.
Green are Ancestor boxes.
Cream are Descendant boxes.
Beige are Spouse boxes.
It seems that the Edit Text Scheme Item dialogue doesn't honour all the Box Type options at bottom as expected.
If Ancestor or Spouse are ticked or unticked then the Marr item is included or excluded correctly.
But if Descendant is ticked then the Marr item is not included, unless the Spouse option to its right is set to any or displayed. (Not sure if this is a bug or not.)
Also the Spouse box below must be unticked for your needs.

The Help talks about considering the General Spouse display options.

Do you have any concerns about how Ancestor boxes should display the Marr data?
