Reports (ISR & FGS) - when Attribute Value is empty
Posted: 22 Jun 2020 15:09
I've noticed a minor issue in Individual Summary Reports and Family Group Sheets where an Attribute has nothing in its Value field. See the screenshot for an example from the sample project using an Education attribute.
When the Value field is empty (in this example, it could be that the town is known but not the name of the school), a placeholder (-;[space]) appears before the Place. Is there any way of hiding this, so that the report shows just the Place without any preceding characters or spaces?
I haven't found anything on this in the report options, or in Help or the Knowledge Base. The only thing I can think of is to set up a parallel custom Event for Education and use this if I can't enter a Value.
(Or might this be something to put on the back burner until we know what's in v.7?)
