List - People, Relationship

[WarrenSGilbert]

In List - People, when 'Relationship' is one of the columns displayed, and the person in the list has a relationship of 'Spouse of xxxxxx', columns Person ID, Last Name, First & Mid Name show correctly, but all other columns show information for the person's spouse, not for the person themselves.

When the 'Spouse' column is removed/replaced, the columns display correctly. Is this a 'feature' or a 'fault'?

It certainly sounds like a fault to me.

Your description of the problem is quite clear -- however, I am not seeing a problem here. What is one of the fields that you have selected to the right of the "Spouse of" column?

Re: List - People, Relationship

The columns I had in my list were: - Person Marked, Person ID #, Relationship, Last Name, First & Mid Name, Spouse, Birth Date, Birth Place, Death Date, Death Place.

The problem still occurs if I have only Person Marked, Person ID #, Relationship, Last Name, First & Mid Name, Spouse.

If I then change the column sequence by moving Relationship to end of the list, the display is correct and stays correct.

With a little experimentation, my conclusion is as follows: -
If the Relationship column is positioned before the Spouse column, then the Spouse column and all columns after the Spouse column display details for the Spouse, not the Person. When moving the position of the columns, the content does not always change unless the column width is adjusted.

However, whilst experimenting, I noticed that in the sequence - Person Marked, Spouse, Relationship, Person ID #, Last Name, First & Mid Name, Birth Date, Birth Place, then for all people with Relationship 'Spouse of xxx' the Person ID # is that of the spouse, not the person. The Person ID # is incorrect whenever it is positioned anywhere after Relationship. All other columns appear to be OK.
