Hey nick apologies, I cant seem to log on to the page you had created and gave a link to, however, I do have just 2 suggestions:
Proposed Feature: Automatic Event Import for Already-Linked FamilySearch IDs
Summary
If a person in the database is already linked to a FamilySearch ID but has no events—or only basic events like Birth and Death—allow the system to automatically import additional events from FamilySearch. This would save significant time and reduce the need to manually review each person one by one.
Details
-
Provide an Auto-Import Events option (similar to features found in Ancestral Quest, RootsMagic, and Legacy).
-
Currently, if a person already has a FamilySearch ID attached, the user must manually import events; this slows down workflow for large trees.
-
Maintain the existing protection that prevents overwriting corrected data:
- If Birth or Death information has been manually corrected by the user and differs from FamilySearch, do not auto-import or override those fields.
Additional Feature: Skip Verified Generations
Allow users to mark a family line or generation as “verified” or “complete.”
-
Once a group of individuals is marked as verified, the system should skip importing or updating data for those specific IDs, even when doing bulk imports from someone else’s tree.
-
The exception would be new individuals not yet in the user’s tree, who should still be imported.
