Approximate dates show up as exact dates

Post by Kirsten » Thu Jul 10, 2014 6:58 pm

I find this aspect of iFamily less clear than I would prefer:

I often enter dates as "bef", "aft", "abt" and in many places they show up as such.

However, in two important places they show up instead as exact dates rather than the approximations I intended them to be.

1) The main visible diagram*, which I refer to constantly, (* the main visible diagram - don't know what to call it; the one you see all the time with focal person center, children left, parents, grandparents etc on the right)

2) Dates also show up in the Project View>People in the Project View as exact rather than approximate. This particular "error" might be even more important than example 1.

I'd prefer in both examples to have the option of seeing the date approximation.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
