Property Box Tabs - Cenus UK

I use Family Historian 5.0.7 on Vista.

I was considering downloading Property Box Tabs: Census UK when I read the following user comment;

     BEWARE: If you try to add Census or Occupation data via the fields of this tab, then LOTS of unwanted facts will be created. They can easily be removed by using Edit> Undo. Only add Census or Occupation data via the Facts tab, or Ancestral Sources.

I have searched through Forums but cannot find any further explanation of this criticism.  On the face of it this Property Box seems a neat way to collate census details -  is the warning of its shortcomings justified - and is there a better way to record census details?

Help and guidance most welcome.

The problem was discussed in Property Box Tabs: Census UK.

It has been fixed in FH V5.0.2 by making such entries display-only.

I will update the FHUG Downloads page to include that information.

The best way to enter new Census records is to use Ancestral Sources.
