* "Cause" field being auto added to Residency Fact

[jbtapscott]

Using FH7and AS7.

Added a Baptism record via AS and, when checking in FH after update, found a Cause field with a value of "True" in the Residence Fact for the Mother of the child being baptised:

The Father and the child also had a Residence fact auto created but neither have the Cause field in it.

The only thing different for the Mother is that she did not exist in FH and therefore I added her by typing her name in the Mother field on the Main Info tab on AS (viz. I did not use the "Add Parent" option).

I have only ever seen the "Cause" field on a Death record so am a bit unsure what this represents on the Residence record or if, indeed, it is a bug?.

Every GEDCOM Fact is allowed to have a Cause (CAUS) field, and it can be accessed/created on the All tab.
In this case, it looks like AS has created it by mistake, but Nick will clarify.

Thanks for reporting that Brent. It's amazing what missing out a comma can do in a program! It will be fixed in the next version, coming very soon.
