* Possible Source Driven Data entry bug for Baptism

[AndrewEllis]

I'm using version 7.0.8.2 and have been entering baptisms using the Source, Create Source from template/prepare citation option from the toolbar.

Creating a source, I'm then used the Church Records, Parish Register Baptism, then entered the data and completed the fields in the Data Entry Asssistant

I've noticed that the text from source that is automatically created from this process reads as follows:

Baptisms solemnised in the Parish of St Wilfrid's Church Calverley, Yorkshire in the Year YYYY

Has anyone else noticed this?

I've reported it to Calico Pie as a possible bug

Many thanks

Can you post an example of the data entry screen showing how you've specified the date so I can take a look at what's gone wrong -- that plugin is one of mine, not Calico Pie's.

Helen, I can repeat those symptoms.
The Autotext Plugin ends that line with " ... the Year YYYY"
i.e. YYYY is literal text.
I was expecting some form of field code with a YEAR qualifier, e.g. ... the Year {DT-DATE:YEAR}

I tried editing the plugin with that and it produced no year display.
I removed the :YEAR qualifier and {DT-DATE} displayed the full date correctly.
So it seems the :YEAR qualifier does not work in that context.

None of the standard field codes work as you would expect in plugin text templates, Mike, but the code should substitute YYYY with the year from the date.. Can somebody provide me with an example of the data entry please?

Here is my data entry below.
Where is the Help advice on the YYYY code? I could only find the :YEAR qualifier.
Why does " ... the Year {DT-DATE}" display the full date correctly but the :YEAR qualifier does not work?

Thanks Mike for checking and posting the screenshot, I can confirm Helen that this is exactly what I did. If you still need screenshots from me I can do this when I'm back home later.
Many thanks to you both

Version 1.5 is now in the plugin store.

You will need to delete the existing Autotext templates for this plugin, via:

1. Tools > Manage Autotext > Autotext for Plugins,
2. Expand Record Baptism Data (England and Wales)
3. Select and delete any existing autotext templates for the plugin, e.g. Baptism post 1812 (England and Wales) and/or Baptism pre 1813 (England and Wales).

Mike, the YYYY code is a hangover from a previous version of the plugin. The :YEAR etc. qualifiers don't work in Autotext...

[AndrewEllis]

Thank you Helen for this quick fix, you're a star for writing and updating this

Helen, are CP aware that qualifiers (like :YEAR) don't seem to work in Autotext?
If not, does it need reporting?

Mike, Autotext is not processed in any way when it's used within FH, just copied on demand into a note, research note, text from source etc.

Token substitution within Autotext for plugins is the responsibility of the plugin author.
