Is there a way to show a source/citation tree?
Posted: 18 May 2022 13:16
Hello all,
I'm a new forum user from The Netherlands, using a trial key, to see whether it's worth it to migrate from Gramps to FH 7, and one aspect that I'm looking at is the records view. I like that a lot, because it gives me an overview of what I have in my database, and it seems to offer similar categories as we have in Gramps. And I write 'we', because I'm also a developer.
When I look at the Source Records tab, it looks a lot like the Sources category in Gramps, except that I don't see a way to see the citations that are associated with a particular source. I see that I can expand a source to see its properties, and I can also see the number of links, which are all links to citations, but I don't see a way to look at the actual citations, and that part is quite essential for me.
Is there a path that I missed? When I try to configure the columns, I can see that I can add a Data Reference, which is nice, but it seems that that reference can only be pointed to a column in the Source table itself. Is that right?
What I'd love to see is either a way to expand the links, or a way to show the associated citations as a list on the right of my screen, in the Named List Pane.
Regards,
Enno
