* Automatic setting of 'Private' flag

[wulliam]

My flags have become somewhat untidy over time, and I'm finally moving over to using expressions for all of my icons.
Is it possible to identify, probably by way of a query, all those people who might still be alive and then assign the 'Private' flag to them? I do understand the distinction between "Living" and "Private", but prefer all living to be marked as the latter as it seems more definitive.

My criteria for an individual possible being alive are:
1) they have no death OR burial date, and
2) they were born less than 100 years ago, or
3) they have an ancestor (parent or grandparent or further back) who was born less than 130 years ago.

I don't really want to have to rummage through my nearly 8000 individuals...

Many thanks,

The fhugdownloads:contents:flag_living|> Query:Individual ~ Flag Living gets quite close.
It lets you choose cutoff Birth/Baptism/Christen dates for Individual & Spouse, and separately for Parents.
You could easily apply the latter cutoff to Grandparents, etc.
It will need an extra Rows Filter to Exclude unless %INDI.BURI[1]% is null and similarly for %INDI.CREM[1]%

Use the supplied instructions to set the Private flag instead of Living flag.
