bug in create profile

Question

When I tried to add a wife to Errol Stephenson-4647, I received a message that both spouses were female at which point I found Errol was incorrectly set as female.

 I selected create anyway and the screen moved to the next step, Review matches with no matches or other info displayed, I clicked review matches on the progress list at the top and was taken to a screen showing the new person data entry page with the data I had entered, but at the bottom "Back to Action" and None of these is a match: create profile" no potential matches were displayed.

Clicking "...Create..." did generate the new wife profile.

 I assume both being set as female has derailed the create new profile program.

Errol's profile has now been set to male.

Answer 1

I was able to "create anyway" without issues several times now. I had trouble following your steps to see what went wrong. When it's worked fine for me sometimes I'm entering a same sex couple, other times the message has been helpful for identifying cases where I've set someone's sex wrong. I think usually the sex populates correctly when creating a profile based on the name if its a common name, but with some less common names it either doesn't get set automatically or can be set incorrectly if you're not paying attention.

Hi

 The bug is not in autofill of the sex which did not apply in this case anyway, but in the add new person process, I've created hundreds of new profiles with the new system, but this is the only one I've this problem with, and the only one where both profiles were the same sex

Thanks for reporting this Gary, I've put it on the bugs list.

Thanks Jamie.
I've since had another instance, this time adding a spouse of the other sex, but again the issue happened after clicking proceed anyway on a warning box. Again I got the "not a match" to click on, but no list of matches instead the completed data entry page was displayed.
