How to set the Startperson

Gramps Web
1

I managed to delete the Startperson in my database. And now I can not manage set up any Startperson. Another question: Is it possible reuse an old gramps person id nr?
By the way, I have Grampsweb on Grampshub.

Hi Trond!

In Gramps Web, the home person you can set on the dashboard does not change the home person in the Gramps database - it is purely for display.

Which problem are you encountering after deleting your home person?

And yes, you can reuise Gramps IDs after deleting an object that used it.

Thanks for quick answer. I finally managed to solve the problem by first using Revisions to undo the delete of the person. And then I used the repair database function to repair the broken links. When I tried earlier today to undo, I got an error message. But now it worked.

Good to know, thanks!

If deleting the database home person causes something to break, this is something we should fix, so if you encountered some errors, please do let us know the details.

Best, David

I think we had an actual bug there, that I now fixed:
