    Custom events - verb field limit?

    Greetings,

    The GEDCOM file I imported into Reunion 10 contained MARC tags (marriage contract) which weren't recognized by Reunion - although they seem to be part of the GEDCOM 5.5 standard. I therefore modified the "*New MARC" field and filled in the narrative form fields. It seems the verb field is limited to 30 characters, which is awfully small. It's actually too short for some of the built in data (see marriage license: "They obtained a marriage license" which is actually 32 characters long!).

    Bug or by design?

    30 characters is the limit for event/narrative form/verbs.
    So our default verb for "Marriage License" is too long.
    That'll be addressed in the next update.

      Frank,

      To clarify, does that mean you will re-word the verb for "Marriage License" or extend the number of allowed characters?

        We will increase the character limitation.
