Global Change of Event

[John Williams]

Hi,
I have had reunion for a few years, but have never really used it because l didn't like the way it handled media.
After the new Ver 14, wow!!!.
Media in events, dark mode, better handling of sources on import, it's great.
I have decided to make it my main Genealogy app.
Now for my question.
I imported a GEDCOM from MacFamilyTree Ver 10.3, using Gedcom ver 7. (25.000 people)
One of the events (Occupation) was imported as *New [OCCU].
I would like change all these events to "Employment".
Is there a way to do that Globally or do l have to change each one individually?
As l have thousands of this ev event it would be a lot easier to do it globally.
Any help please?
Cheers
John

Since "New [OCCU]" is already an event, then you can go into Reunion > Settings > Fields, locate the "New [OCCU]" event, rename it to "Employment" and configure the other settings like Abbreviation and Narrative form.

I have the same issue as JW ... my import has come from a Family Historian gedcom.... are you saying that you are changing *New [OCCU to EMPL ?] Any advice much appreciated.

Would it be fair to say that Reunion 14 treats OCCU as a profession, calling or skillset "FACT", like dentist, lawyer, graphic designer, systems analyst, baker, cordwainer ... and EMPL as an "EVENT" - a job perhaps for a company, farmer, business, Govt Department, bank or service that one might have at a particular time or period and place ? Would that be pretty right ?

I am struggling trying to understand what to do re the imported "New [OCCU]" issue. I may have 1000s of these in my imported Gedcom from Family Historian. I understand Roger's suggestion about just changing the nomenclature to "Occupation" as the description of the job, in my case is always in the Memo. eg, the same person can have several jobs in a lifetime such as "clerk", "Bookkeeper", "Accountant", "Financial Controller", "Finance Director", "Chief Executive" Etc However, what happens when I export a new Gedcom .... what Tag is allocated to each event ? Any help, much apprecisted.
