Media Link Note

Post by Beerbadger » 24 Mar 2021 19:31

Having added a media item of a family celebration I have used the Face Link capability to identify all the family members. If I leave FH7 to its own devices it will add a caption to these faces in, say, The Individual Summary Report. This caption will contain relationship to the individual the report is based on, their name and, if the photo has a date, the year of the photo and the age of the person.
However, I can choose to use the photo link to the person as a caption for the photo eg "Harold at Jessica's 80th birthday celebration". If I do that I lose the date of the photo and the individual's age when it is used in reports.
Can data references or some other means be used to add to the media link text in order to achieve this, please?

I don't think even the Rich Text capabilities can use data refs.
However, wouldn't it be just as easy to copy type the actual Year, Age, etc, as it would to type in data refs?

Good point, as the Media link only applies to that person anyway.
Thanks
