* Amending Census dates

[peterbel]

I would like to correct the Census dates of my data, they are currently just yyyy and I want to change them to dd/mm/yyyy
Is there an existing plugin that will allow me to achieve this?
I had a quick look at Change any Fact but couldn't find the right criteria.

The Search and Replace plugin should do it. Using the Major options, select Census (INDI.CENS) and Date fields, then work through one census at a time.

If you have Family census facts you probably do it differently, but this wasn't something I needed to explore.

If you use Ancestral Sources the census dates are automatically shown

Thanks Victor but am a very occasional user of AS. I am still trying to get the best out of FH !
I have now manually listed and edited all the census dates I have, very boring but now complete.

As arthurk suggested, the Search and Replace plugin would have automated those changes.

Thanks Mike. I did finish off the update with Search and Replace, a very useful tool.
