* Fact Title Problem

[ColinMc]

I've ended up with an odd error and I can't see how to correct it (short of deleting the fact and re-adding it.)

I entered a death using AS, and the husband was entered as a witness. However in his timeline, it is appearing as "Birth/Death of Wife Christina zzzzzz".

I can't remember if there was a fact in existence before I added the death in AS, although I could check on a back-up.

The Sentence appears, correct and it is yellow. The witness dialog also seems OK. Using Find does not locate the zzzzzz, suggesting it must be generated rather than input.

I suspect you have no Fact Witness definition for the Role of Informant.
This was discussed at length recently in Scottish Birth Certificate Fact Creation (17349).
See ancestralsources:family_historian_birth_death_informant_witness_role|> Ancestral Sources > Family Historian Birth & Death Informant & Other Witness Roles.

Managed to get back to this issue. As I was heavily involved in the topic you linked to, I would have been disappointed if it was as simple as that.

As far as I can see, it looks as it should do.

The image does not show the whole text, so here it is.

Code: Select all

{individual} died <of '{cause}'> {date} <at {address},> {place}  {age}.  <The attending doctor was {role(single)=doctor}. ><The attending doctors were {role(plural)=doctor}. ><{role=minister} was in attendance. ><{role=priest} was in attendance. ><{role=rabbi} was in attendance. ><The death was registered by {role=informant}. ><The death was witnessed by {role=witness}. ><para>

To test it, I entered (using FH, not AS) an additional death for the wife. As you can see, her sentence worked correctly, as did his, but his fact tab was wrong.

I then created a new Fact called Death 2 and copied all the settings from the original Death Fact by cutting and pasting. I did not create all the witness roles, just the Informant one. I then added another death and his fact tab appeared correctly for the Death 2 fact

Puzzling?

[tatewise]

In the Edit Role dialogue for Informant, what is customised on the Advanced... button?
I suspect you have set a Facts tab Template.

That's it, problem solved. There was a strange override text in there!

Thanks
