Copying a fact to the same person or couple

[nkess]

Thanks for the info @cweese –

in this post it was said that you could NOT use copy fact to reuse

RM10 Is copy fact supposed to work to duplicate a fact for the same person?

I have been using the copy fact to reuse facts between people but today I was adding a series of similar electoral roll entries to one person and wanted to copy the fact and then edit the details, although I could select the original person it did not duplicate the fact in the record. Is this a bug or am I trying to do something it isn’t supposed to do?

But there was a work around listed in this post

Copy Function in Rootsmagic

Hello, i like already the copy function from 1 person to another person, but it will be perfect if you can copy a fact also in the same person. now i must sometimes 10 times ad the fact occupation, but then i ad this on time and then i can copy it 10 times… will be a nice ad to this program…

like yours better as it is easier…
