Editing Census Templates

Post by ColinMc » 04 Aug 2023 18:53

I have been editing some census Templates, using the "Copy From" facility to edit the Relation list.

I deliberately chose the first "Copy From" entry on the (alphabetical) list to be my prime source, so I did not have to hunt for the right entry to copy from each time I edited a new Template.

However I seem to be getting different lists of fields to copy from, (see the three images attached), and often the SOurce I want to use has disappeared from the list.

I cannot spot any obvious difference in the details that might cause a different list to appear.

I cannot be 100% certain, but I'm fairly confident that all three examples shown are modified versions of the default templates.

Any suggestions what might cause this?

Probably a bug. I won't get a chance to investigate this for a while but will let you know when I have.

Thanks for letting me know.

I did modify the relationship lists for the default templates (in 7.7 I think) so maybe that might explain it. If you had modified those beforehand then then you won't have the new lists in the default versions
