Work with Data for Authors
Posted: 08 May 2012 10:56
FH should be enhanced to provide a facility to 'Work With Data' for the Author item on Source Records. This facility should be analogous to that for Places and Addresses and should (as a minimum) include the ability to Edit, Replace with..., and List Records and Where Used. In addition, the Property Box for a Source Record should bring up a data entry assistant that gives the option of using an existing Author.
Justification: The majority of source records (at least for 'splitters') have Authors that repeat to possibly a large extent, e.g. a parish church. The facility would give the ability to ensure consistency in the forms used (e.g. is it 'Saint' in full, 'St.' or 'St' for the church?)
