* Fact Sets on the Menu

[rivimey]

Would it be possible to have a boolean option associated with each Fact Set that determines whether it is merged into the general Attribute / Event context menu, or gets its own submenu?

That is, taking a Military set as an example, the current state is:

Attribute -> Military Rank

while with the option it might become

Attribute -> Military -> Military Rank

The name of the submenu would be the Fact Set name.

This might help avoid problems if we start loading up a few sets...

This would be very useful. I've loaded the military fact sheet and with people who served in both world wars + others it makes the attribute/event list very messy

It would be good to be able to add a fact sheet as an attribute/event e.g. 1914-1918 Great War (Military), (where the date and 'great war' are entered like on any other event/attribute) and that record to have a button that pops up another attribute/event form with the individual items?

They could still be stored in the gedcom/fh as individual items, to avoid breaking anything, but FH could group them based on date(s)/description

Just my 2p!

Fact sets are not stored in the GEDCOM file.

You can already turn them on and off in the Work With Fact Sets, when hidden they still work, but you can't pick from them.

Hi Jane. I think i got my words muddled there. I mean't the attributes/events would still be stored as normal

But thinking about it, i guess it wouldn't be possible to store them in the gedcom as their relationship to the custom fact sheet couldn't be stored? Think i need to read the gedcom spec!

The other potential problem could be that they cascade so if you have two events with the same name in two fact sets only one of the sentence structures will be used.
