I have a New York State census for 1915 to input, and I used a copy of the 1910 US census as a starting point to save keystrokes.

As I understand it, State censuses may well differ from State to state, so I would want to identify my new Census Template in some way to identify it as a NY one. I tried entering "1915 NY" as the year, which seems to work perfectly other than not letting me automatically set a date for the census in the template - which is easily worked around.

Has anyone other suggestions as to work round this issue

When you create the Census Template why not set the Region to 'USA New York' and similarly for all other states.

Yes I'd recommend using a different region as Mike suggests. That's the reason why I changed the name of the drop-down to Region rather than Country

So obvious once someone suggests it.

Thanks to both of you
