Residence greyed out in AS4

I have started using AS4 and have a problem with some residence options being greyed out in Baptisms and Marriages

In Baptisms

I can only set the "Individual Residence", not the Father's Residence or Mother's Residence
This isn't actually a problem (so far) as the text in those fields is auto-completed from the Individual and transfers to FH OK.
It is different to the old version though and I didn't see that it was a documented change

In Marriages

The Spouse residence is greyed out, doesn't auto-complete and nothing transfers to FH
Again this is different from 3.2, doesn't seem to be documented as a change and I didn't find anything in the Help or Options screen

As no-one else has pointed out the same problem, am I doing something wrong?

Sorry about that. It appears to happen if you've made (or started) a burial or death entry and either the parents or the spouse were not included. So if the spouse wasn't part of the burial record then their residence gets disabled. Then when you change to baptism or marriage their residence doesn't get enabled again. I will fix that in an update soon.

Edit: I should have added that the way around this for now if the residence is disabled is to close and reopen Ancestral Sources.

Thanks for reporting this issue (it is very similar to the other problem that has been reported today).

Just to confirm that this is corrected in version 4.0.1 of Ancestral Sources which I've just made available.

Thanks again for reporting this problem
