Each time before I want drag&drop my association text, I must clear the input. I could understand Unknown text, but what about Godfather? My poposition is to set ref.rel = "" into all 3 places. It will work, the empty field is allowed there and working good. What do you think? Does it make sens…

Changing the default from "Godfather" to "" should be fine. (I agree that Godfather is a poor default.) As you indicated, you would no longer need the enclosing parentheses or leading underscore. Those are only needed for strings that need translation. For future reference, you can paste the Perm…

@emyoulation agree with you about “gender-neutral Association”. I also would like make mass-renaming of Association input. Its also because I want translate my data from Ukrainian into English. Is it possible? Thanks

I tend to agree. I don’t think that the default of “Godfather” for new associations, or “Unknown” for drag & drop is particularly useful. Associations have been enhanced in Gedcom 7.0 to include a role enumeration.

@emyoulation , personally for me remembering the last association will be unconviniant feature because when I add godparent on one side I also add godchild on the second side, so, I switch each time.

Wouldn’t it be even better to share the association record, i.e. the PersonRef object? Associations relate two persons to each other. This relationship is almost always asymmetric (godperson → godchild versus friend ↔ friend). All there is to do is enhance a little PersonRef to hold two person hand…
