I would like to correct the Census dates of my data, they are currently just yyyy and I want to change them to dd/mm/yyyy
Is there an existing plugin that will allow me to achieve this?
I had a quick look at Change any Fact but couldn't find the right criteria.

Re: Amending Census dates
The Search and Replace plugin should do it. Using the Major options, select Census (INDI.CENS) and Date fields, then work through one census at a time.
If you have Family census facts you probably do it differently, but this wasn't something I needed to explore.

Re: Amending Census dates
If you use Ancestral Sources the census dates are automatically shown

Thanks Victor but am a very occasional user of AS. I am still trying to get the best out of FH !
I have now manually listed and edited all the census dates I have, very boring but now complete.

Re: Amending Census dates
As arthurk suggested, the Search and Replace plugin would have automated those changes.

Thanks Mike. I did finish off the update with Search and Replace, a very useful tool.
