* Shared fact

[TMG_refugee]

I want to put a header in a sentence if I have any shared people on a fact.

{=TextIf(Exists(%FACT._SHAR%) and Not(%FACT._SHAR.ROLE% = "Wife") or Exists(%FACT._SHAR[2]%)," Other heirs in line of succession were:","")}

This seems to work if my shared people are in the database but not if the shared person is name only. Is this correct or am I doing something incorrectly?

The complication is that Name Only Fact Witnesses use the _SHAN tag instead of _SHAR.
They are two different types of field:
_SHAN is a text field holding the Name Only text.
_SHAR holds a pointer to an Individual record.
So your conditional expression will have to get even longer to cater for all the possible combinations!

BTW: You can discover the _SHAR and _SHAN tags by interrogating any of the Data Reference Assistants (DRA).
One of the best is the Query Columns tab Fields pane, but the Sentence Template offers a DRA via << Insert Code > Data Reference... and lists both Witness> %FACT._SHAR[1]>% and Witness (name only) %FACT._SHAN[1]%.

Mike,

That works great. It even made what I thought would work even simpler.
