Books - Problems with multiple Fan Charts

Post by Fairperson » 13 Mar 2021 05:29

Hello all,

In each of my "Books" I have two or three fan charts to give an overview position in the family tree.

With the move to FH7 I now seem to have an issue when I have multiple fan charts in a book. When I view the book only one fan chart is shown for every individual. Example;

In the "Book Items" list I have an entry for Person "A" (Fan Chart Person "A") and Person "B" (Fan Chart Person "B") . Both were added by selecting "Fan Chart" from the "Available Items" list. However only one image of one persons fan chart is shown on both people. If I further complicate the issue by adding another Fan Chart. Click "Fan Chart" from "Available Items", add to "Current Book Items" by selecting a different person (Person "C") and then close and click "Refresh Book". All three people now have the fan chart for the last added. The Fan Chart for Person "A", Person "B" and Person "C" are now all the single chart for Person "C".

I am sure this worked OK in FH6, anyone else seeing this issue? I cannot see anything in HELP or in this forum to suggest a limit on numbers of Fan Charts in a Book.

Appreciate any feedback

Yes, I get similar symptoms with all Fan Charts having the same Root Person regardless of the person chosen.

Please report to Calico Pie via http://www.calico-pie.com/osticket/open.php

This seems to be yet another feature that worked in FH V6 and is broken in FH V7.

IMO we should start compiling a consolidated list of problems.
