* Problem Importing Place Descriptions into Address field

[MFriend]

Hi Mike:

Almost a couple of years ago you helped me with importing the place description field in FTM 2019 into the address field of FH: Importing Descriptions (addresses) from FTM to FH (20773)

I had given a copy of my tree to my brother who was using FTM, and now I'd like to import his copy into FH 7.

The problem it seems is that what we had discussed back then using the "Move_UNCAT to Address" plugin does not seem to be working.

When I run it after importing the gedcom from FTM I get this:

Here are the import settings I am using (I tried playing with them and it didn't make a difference:

Here are two examples of the description field from FTM and the data that is in the exported gedcom for each:

There must be a limit on the number of attachments. I'll attach the remaining code below.

I searched the imported gedcom after importing into FH and can't find the text of either of the examples. It appears that FH 7.22 is just dropping them?

Thanks for any help Mike

Matthew, that is a fault that has been introduced into FH V7.
It does not matter how the 'Move invalid data into note fields where possible' is set.
Any text on the same line following any Event tag is unconditionally discarded.
It is never moved to a NOTE field or an _UNCAT field.

Please report that fault to CP via https://support.calico-pie.com/open.php with a reference to this thread as the evidence.

[MFriend]

ok I'll report it. Thank you for checking on this for me Mike

Just following up:

FH support said:

"Thank you for reporting this issue. It will be fixed in the next update."

Excellent, that confirms it was an introduced fault that needs to be fixed.
I wonder how much imported data has gone astray in the meantime.
