1939 Census - DOB not updating

Post by Fred » 06 Sep 2020 16:18

Hi All,

When I use AS (5.2.0) to update my FH (6.2.7) via the 1939 census entry, if I have an individual in FH that already has an estimated DOB (say from a previous census entry) which I can then manually update in AS from the 1939 census info, when I then save the change in AS, all the new data gets recorded in FH except for the new DOB and it remains in its original form. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this as I didn't spot it for quite some time and by then had loads of entries to go and amend manually?

Certainly works okay for me - I get a prompt asking about updating DOB, Place of Birth etc., with a few tick boxes for how I want to proceed (normally, just update the DOB).

Check the AS Tools > Options > Census settings. Have you got the relevant option ticked?
