Having imported records from Legacy to FH5, I have another problem whereby some 'facts' have been imported as 'events' and some as 'attributes'. Which isn't a problem in lots of the cases but is in one particular case.
In Legacy I had all census individually entered according to their year ie Census 1841, Census 1851 etc.
I would like to try and keep everything uniform so that the entries are similar.
I cannot see how I can change a custom 'event' to a custom 'attribute' because the fact type is greyed out in ToolsWork with fact setsProperties.
Is there a way to acheive the change ?

Event to Attribute change
As you have V5 you can use Mike's Plugin Change Any Fact Tag to do this.
As FH is so much better at handing Census based on years, you might want to consider converting all your Census events/attributes to normal Census events at the same time.

I have downloaded and installed that plugin onto a practice setup and cannot get the plugin to work directly but found a workaround for that problem by creating a new fact, same name but with 'Attribute' fact type (old one is an event), which is fine, all goes to plan and get to the first record but then I get an error:
.Family HistorianPluginsChange_Any_Fact_Tag.fh_lua:167:
Unable to open file: F:My DocumentsFamily Historian ProjectsMy FamilyMy Family.fh_dataPlugin DataChange_Any_Fact_Tag.datChange Any Fact Tag - 2013-03-24 121804.log
F:My DocumentsFamily Historian ProjectsMy FamilyMy Family.fh_dataPlugin DataChange_Any_Fact_Tag.datChange Any Fact Tag - 2013-03-24 121804.log: No such file or directory
Hoping to overcome that, I did a search of the whole of the PC and could find no file named 'Change Any Fact Tag - 2013-03-24 121804.log'
Any thoughts ?
