That's correct. I stated the current rules above. The rules were standardized because the primary status of tags was being changed by editing when it should not have been changed. But it is still being changed. If I edit a primary event tag and change the Principal the tag recorded under that new Principal is no longer a primary event tag. There no longer seems to be an easy way to create a census tag, copy multiple tags versions of that tag, edit those copies for other individuals in the family. It is necessary to go to each of those individuals and re-set the primary tag.

As I stated, for example one, v6 of TMG assigned the Census tag with the changed Principal as primary in the new Principal. So there has been a change in operation between v6 and 7.02 (I've a feeling v7.01 worked the same way as v6)

When I copy a census tag in v 7.02 and then change the Principal person in the non-primary copy the version in the record of the changed principal is also shown as a non-primary tag. In earlier versions of TMG that copied and re-assigned tag showed as a primary tag. (Changing the Principal person in the primary tag also results in the entry of the changed principal is also showing as a non-primary tag).

Yes - change to a different ID#

I am adding a series of entries (e.g. a year Census) and copy the first/primary tag for all the possible individuals in the household. I then edit a non-primary tag. When I press enter I get an error xxxx no longer has a primary event of this type (I have warning set on). However, there is still a primary tag for xxxx (as well as several non-primary tags. I have had to turn the Warn next time off running v 7.01

I'm getting a similar problem in v7.01 when adding a new person as a wife. An example of the error is ErrorMarker: Data type mismatch. 98 TMGAPPOBJ.MINSERTTMGNAME The wife is added but the marriage data isn't linked correctly.

Is there any way of exporting a GEDCOM file in UTF-8 format?

As far as I am aware, not with TMG. But you can get a reasonable box chart with Genbox as long as it isn't too complicated. Download a free 30-day trial of it. Create a Focus Group in TMG and export a GEDCOM file of the Focus Group. Import that GEDCOM into Genbox. Then go to Charts | Everyone in Genbox and you have lots of options. You can do something similar with Family Historian. I just wish TMG had the same functionality of being able to chart a selected group or everyone in the database - it is feasible.
