Born and Died in Main tab. (19672) ~ BMD and all other standard facts not imported by FH.
Fact Type missing from FH after Conversion from TMG (19559)
Give Witness.. then Migrate Census. Importing from TMG (19551) ~ Census**** facts don't merge to standard Census facts.
In FH v6.2 the TMG direct import of Fact Types faithfully uses the TMG Tag Type List GEDCOM tag definition.
If the GEDCOM tag is BIRT, DEAT, CENS, etc, then it imports facts with those standard GEDCOM tags.
It only imports the facts as custom facts if the GEDCOM tag is EVEN.
But that did not cope with foreign languages because the TMG Tag Type List Label was ignored.
In FH v7.0 the TMG direct import of Fact Types has changed significantly.
It now creates a local Project TMG (project) Fact Set to hold the imported fact type definitions.
If those definitions use standard GEDCOM tags then the matching Standard Fact Set tags are <eclipsed>.
That allows the local Project TMG (project) Fact Set to hold custom definitions such as foreign language versions.
If the TMG SAMPLE_UK__ project is imported then the above process works OK and the Standard facts are <eclipsed> by the TMG facts that can be given foreign language Labels, etc, that just apply to the Project.
All the FH features associated with key standard facts such as Birth, Baptism, Marriage, Census, Death, Burial, etc, are OK.
i.e. Focus Window BMD details are OK, Main tab Birth, Death, Marriage details are OK, Facts tab Age column is OK, functions that estimate dates are OK, etc...
However, if the TMG Tag Type List Labels are changed to use foreign language versions in TMG the process fails.
Change the TMG Death (DEAT) fact Label to the German Tot or Norwegian Død and the TMG (project) Fact Set imports a custom fact instead of the standard DEAT fact tag even though the TMG Tag Type List still defines the GEDCOM tag as DEAT.
Therefore, all the FH features associated with Death facts no longer recognise the imported death facts.
The same problem applies if all the other facts have their TMG Labels changed. None are imported as Attributes!
In particular, the family Marriage (MARR) fact imports as one Individual Ekteskap fact and a Fact Witness with a Role of Principal 2 for the spouse, which is almost impossible to fix.
It seems that the FH direct import process is ignoring the TMG GEDCOM tag definitions and only using the Label names.
That explains the symptoms in the Import TMG data. (19658) where none of the BMD details are recognised in FH and why Give Witness.. then Migrate Census. Importing from TMG (19551) does not all the various CENS1871 labelled facts onto the FH standard CENS fact.
I think what should happen is the TMG GEDCOM tag value should be used to determine the FH Fact Type tag value and the TMG Label should set the FH Fact Type Label.
Maybe I and those other users are missing some important setting or FH v7.0 is not working as I would expect.
Can anybody provide an alternative explanation?
Do others agree that it is a CP problem that needs reporting?
[POSTSCRIPT]
To prove the point I've edited the TMG SAMPLE_UK__ project Tag Type List in two further ways:
- Changed the Label of the Baptism (GEDCOM = BAPM) to Death.
In FH v6 that still imports as a standard Baptism BAPM event but not in FH v7.0. - Changed all the CENS**** facts to use GEDCOM = CENS instead of EVEN.
In FH v6 that imports all such CENS**** facts as standard Census CENS facts but not in FH v7.0.
