Running RM8 v8.1.7.0, windows 10
I am working on merging two RM8 databases into a new “combined” database. In one database, there are a number of citations attached to research tasks. When I moved it into the new empty database and compared the stats, the new database had the same number of sources, but fewer citations. I am still working through the source lists to see where citations are used, but so far I have found that any citation attached to a task, did not transfer into the new empty data base. To confirm, I ran a small test with a new database created in RM8.
I created a small one person database and attached a citation from a RM standard template and a citation created with a custom template to a birth fact and a task. I purposely did not use the copy paste function. My source list showed two sources each with two citations, one attached to birth fact and one attached to the task.
When I moved this database into a new database using a drag and drop, the person and the task both came over. The source list on the new(receiving) database showed the two tasks, but only one citation for each - the one attached to the birth fact. The citations attached to the tasks did not transfer to the new database.
Before I report as an issue, am interested to see if anyone else has had the problem or if possibly I am doing something wrong when I use the drag and drop into the new database.
