* Flagging Facts

[WeefordHoldcroft's]

What would be very useful is a flagging of individual facts in the facts window. I am currently going through checking the facts for each member of my family tree. The problem is I have to open each fact up to see if I have amended it or not. It would be better if I could flag the facts that are corrected or at least change the text colour. That would save so much time in editing.

I get where you are coming from. It would also be useful to be able to add columns in the facts tab (someone please correct me if I am wrong) and add a last updated date/time column, which could then be sorted.

At a higher level I use the Individual 'last updated' column on an individual query (or Records window).

It would also be nice (might be possible) to add a last updated column to a Fact Query. In a query these 2 expressions give slightly different last updated columns, but it is for the INDIVIDUAL, not their facts singly.
=LastUpdated(FactOwner(%FACT%,1,MALES_FIRST))
=LastUpdated(GetRecord(%FACT%))

These are from FACT QUERY, Last updated (13815) and at the time noone came up with an answer.

I think the reason is that last updated is only available at Individual level not fact level and I note the Changed time is kept in the Gedcom file at Individual level, not Fact.

I'm sure that FH could be made to permanently record each individual fact changed time or flag or marker, but I think you would need to make a request to Calico. Try the New Wish List Requests first at http://www.fhug.org.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=43.
I would certainly vote for it.

Perhaps others have a method for keeping track of fact updates?
