The installation process for FH v7 is different from all earlier versions. There is no licence key. You use an online Account with Calico Pie.

Re: Creating a concatenated field in SOURCES in Records Window
Yes, if the separator is a comma, then the TextPart(...) function works similarly to the Section(...) function.
TextPart(...) also has extra features for tidying and arranging the comma-separated parts.

Re: Possible error in Clean up Surname Capitalisation Plugin
John, you can edit the plugin yourself to make any necessary changes.
One of us could advise what changes to make once you are familiar with the editing process.
Alternatively, you must wait until Jane notices this thread and updates the plugin in the Plugin Store.

Re: Possible error in Clean up Surname Capitalisation Plugin
FYI: The plugin is using iup.GetText(...) which displays a modal dialog to edit multiline text. The idea is that the user reviews and corrects each surname listed. However, in Lua the default maxsize is 10240 characters, so I believe the dialog is being truncated. So it is currently not possible to ...

Re: Name capitalisation and parts check
Yes, that is the same cause for the error.
The NSFX = POLLARD/ which is the trailing part of the NAME field and includes the slash /
So when the 'suffix' POLLARD/ is removed from Ella Loretta /POLLARD/ it leaves Ella Loretta / which does not contain two slashes and that causes the fault.

Re: Questionable name capitalisation
I discovered that fault arises under the following (unusual) conditions:

Name Suffix (INDI.NAME.NSFX): Munro/ Junior
i.e. The Named Suffix field holds the trailing section of the Name field including a slash /

The duplications illustrate where such people fit into their two...

You could create a copy of your master Project and delete the maternal line of ancestors.
Then the report will only include the paternal line.
