Why is saving a profile without dates again possible?

Question

Or is the date in the marriage field enough now? Which is a shame as that date nor location do not show up in the search and suggestion pages.

Answer 1

We switched it to what it was previously where if an old profile already had no dates, it can be saved without dates. This is so Editbot can still work on these profiles, and also so people can add research notes. But a profile with dates cannot be changed to have no dates, and new profiles cannot be created without dates.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Jamie, you are saying that updates are now able to be made to profiles without adding any dates?

Yes, but people should try their best to estimate a date.

Thank you, that's a really helpful change.
