Plugin to convert TMG Anecdotes to ordinary FH Notes

Post by woodr2011 »

Martin of CP has converted my TMG database to an FH7 project, and it is working beautifully! Just out of curiosity: The import process pulled over the Anecdote tabs that contain biographical data and placed them as Anecdotes under the Note tab in FH, but I would like to convert them to ordinary FH Notes as shown in the second line item in Notes tab in the attached photo. I would like to hire someone to write a script or a plugin that will allow me to accomplish this.

I presume you have seen the replies to your Change Anecdotes to Notes? (19934) question and despite the advice to the contrary still want to convert them.

I mentioned the complications of multiple Anecdote facts and pre-existing record local Note text.
You will need to specify how to handle such cases before a Plugin script can be implemented.

I did see those responses, yes. I think it may be wiser for me to convert them manually as needed.
