GEDCOM: Adding people seems broken

+3 votes
301 views
I am in the process of merging a 1200+ people GEDCOM. This worked resonably well until last week, but today the ADD button always results in an "adding an unrelated person" form and none of the fields are filled out.

This happens with every person I try to add and I have verified that the appropriate relationships between whoever I'm adding and a confirmed match is present in the file.

What gives? Anything I can do to fix this?

I believe this is a known problem with the beta "add person" feature.

To add people from a GEDCOM you need to turn off the beta feature.

To do this use the "My WikiTree" menu and select "Settings". Scroll to the very bottom of the Settings page and make sure the option "Turn on Beta test for creating profiles" is NOT checked.

Thanks, that was "it".
Well, correction: no it wasn't. While the fields are now filled in it still says "adding an unrelated person" instead of "father/child/spouse of".

Thanks for reporting this, Matthias. I'll look into it.
