Sorry,
I know this is probably simple, but I can't find it in help, or the new user fact, and there doesn't seem to be a plug in for it.
How do I access the greyed out text fields on the screenshot?

Basically you need to access them from the properties of the person, not the properties of the media, as they relate to the person.

Yes, in that
Links tab, scroll up to the
Individual record listed as the root of those fields in your screenshot.
I know it will be an
Individual record because the text is
blue.
Select that record and the large arrow on the right of the toolbar in your screenshot will turn blue.
Click that
Go To blue arrow and the
Property Box of that
Individual will open to allow editing.
BTW: That star-burst
WWW is an
Uncategorised Data Field (
UDF) that is invalid
Gedcom as far as
FH is concerned.
See how_to:handling_unrecognised_data_fields|> Handling Uncategorised Data Fields (UDF) for options.
However, in this case I suggest you use the
Change Any Fact Tag Plugin :-
- Set the Source Tag Set: to <UDF Tags>.
- Select a Source Tag Name: from its drop-list, in this case WWW UDF Tag.
- Set the Target Tag Set: to Extended Set for imported Facts from other products.
- Select the desired Target Tag Name: from its drop-list, in this case Web Address.
- To perform the change click the green button below and use the Confirm Edit dialogue.
The
Web Address fact will then appear on the
Facts tab.
To discover more about the
Extended Set and enable all its features see glossary:work_with_fact_sets|> Work with Fact Sets/Fact Types under
Custom Facts from other Products.
