I would appreciate some advice regarding how to create custom facts for the above, I've looked at other forum posts on the subject but it dosen't really do what I want. I created a custom fact for Deported
{individual} was deported to {_place}{note}
Is there a way of getting it to read deported to Western Australia instead of deported in Western Austrialia?
but the sentence underneath reads: He was deported to Western Australia. Where am I going wrong?
I've done this in the sample project so take no notice of the dates!

Re: Deportation and Prison Facts
Jane, did you resolve the Duplicate Custom Fact Sets (15405) problem?
The Sentence Template you have created only affects the Sentence: box and Narrative Reports.
They usually contain {date} and {age} and {note} that you would not want for the Facts tab.
There are other advanced override templates for the Facts tab and Records Window displays.
See how_to:understanding_expressions#override_templates|> Override Templates.
Use Tools > Fact Types > Edit > Advanced for the Deportation fact.
Enable both templates and enter Deported to {_place} into both.

Re: Deportation and Prison Facts
Yes, thanks, I did managed to resolve the Dupicate Fact Sets problem by deleting the facts I didn't want. I'm just begining to realise what a powerful program FH is and thank goodness there's a sample project to use and help on this forum or I would be in all sorts of trouble!
I've followed your instruction and it's just what I wanted. Thanks again Mike
