Automatic Source Citiation Not Working Properly
Posted: 11 Mar 2023 10:59
I am using a Windows 11 PC and FH7 V 7.0.19. When using the Automatic Source Citation (ASC) Tool.
When I add a fact anywhere, ASC works exactly as expected - the source gets added to that fact.
But when I add a note anywhere, although ASC is enabled, it doesn't add the source to the note and I have to manually add it. Or alternatively, if I go back and edit the note in any way, ASC will then add the source.
ASC has never worked for me in FH7, but did work in FH6.
I imported the database from a GEDCOM from FTM 2005 four years ago onto a Windows 7 PC using FH6. I did install FH7 on Windows 7 and it ran fine - apart from Automatic Source Citation not working - I didn't appreciate you shouldn't install FH7 onto Windows 7 - but I can't do anything about that now!
I now have a Windows 11 PC and FH7 and ASC still doesn't work.
I wondered if it was related to the database I am using, but exactly the same thing happened when I recently created a brand new database to research a different family tree. I can't believe I am the only user in the world with this problem?
Is there a preference which I have inadvertently set?
