Is restricted GEDCOM exports policy or a bug?

Question

I have entered profiles for a living relation, his wife and their children. All profiles managed by me. All of them red private.

I wish to export a tiny little GEDCOM just for that family.

I can't.

I can export the father with his descendants, and then the mother is anonymous. I can export the mother with her descendants, and then the father is anonymous.

Is this policy or a bug?

Comments

I looked through wikitree on gedcom importing and exporting and don't see any information on the issue. However it probably a Policy issue for privacy of the living people.

Hi Dirk,

I think the assumption is that you want descendants and the spouse is just a placeholder. Did you try exporting the ancestors of one of the children?

I'm not fond of asking for ancestors, too many of them go back to the 1700s. Exporting the watchlist remains the best option on WikiTree.

I just find it curious that the HTML descendant table itself shows the information, but the GEDCOM does not.

BTW I got +8 votes but no answers for a previous not quite unrelated question.
