Narrative sentences for shared facts not picking up field data

That work great for the fact sentence, thanks. Too bad about the role sentence.

I do like the casual option - that works well, thanks.
It even works on Jerry’s solution for using [RoleName] so my fact sentence is very casual.

Unfortunately adding the subjects of the photo to all of the subjects doesn’t take advantage of the sharing feature. It also means I have to create a fact for each person and create a distinct description for each fact.

There is, however, [OtherPersons]
[Sentence Template field: OtherPersons] (Sentence template language)

I have not experimented with using [Field(#)] or [Field 1, Field 2] but this might also be an option for naming people in a photo.

Aha! I had forgotten about that one (or never knew). If I understand the documentation correctly, it’s for all witnesses, not just the witnesses with the same role. That’s probably what you would want in most cases. For example, if it were being used with the Census fact, if the role sentence for the Son role included [OtherPersons], the [OtherPersons] would include people with the Daughter role and the Wife role, which is actually what you would want.
