I am adding some Census tags for 1901.

 

My 1901 Census Tag Type has all the normal roles, Head, Wife, Son, Daughter etc, which is great - and I know I can add more by editing that tag Type.

 

The way I use it is a set up a tag entry of that type and I set up principle one as head, and principle 2 as wife, then add all the children as witnesses, but changing the witness role to son/daughter as appropriate (or niece nephew etc).

 

My problem is that although the Cen 1901 tag type has roles for Son and daughter - when adding a witness to that tag, via the "Edit Witness" form the "Son" role doesn't exists.

 

That is ok, because the last entry is <new>

 

So I click <new> and try and add a role of son, but it says son exists already for the cen 1901 tag type - which I agree it does, however son is not in the role drop down list of the Edit witness form.

 

So at the moment I am having to add all my sons as witness.

 

Did I explain that ok?

 

All the best

If you edit that Tag Type, is the role of son enabled (a check mark by it)?

Thanks for the reply.

 

The son role was checked, and in fact I could use it if I wanted to add it to a principle, it was just missing from the witness roles.

 

I did play with adding and removing roles though and at some point the son kicked in. I still do not know what happened, but the good news is that it is working now.

 

Thanks for the reply though

 

All the best
