Refresh DNA Rel (Tree) Column

RootsMagic
1

I am using RootsMagic 10.0.3.0 on Windows 11. When I enter a DNA match for a person that as yet I do not know the common ancestor the Rel (Tree) column is blank as expected. However, later when the common ancestor is traced the Rel (Tree) column is not updated automatically. The only way I can populate the column is to delete the match and then re-insert it. Is there an easier way please like a refresh screen button that I am missing?

An update link was added in 10.0.2 … check on the right pane of the DNA tab of the Edit Person window. Clicking on the update link should re-run the Tree Relationship calculation.

Make sure you have update 10.0.3 installed. The refresh button was added in 10.0.2. If you highlight the DNA Match at the bottom of the panel on the right you will see an update hyperlink for the Tree Relationship.

Thank you @kevinm and @rzamor1 for your help. That worked a treat.

Thank you @kevinm and @rzamor1 for that feature. Is there any way to have RM update ALL of the DNA tree relationships at once? I am working on an automated way to add DNA matches to RM and updating hundreds (or thousands!) of matches one at a time is a problem.

There isn’t a way to update all DNA tree relationships at once. Development did look at that when the refresh button was added. Being able to refresh everyone at once is still on the development list.

Thanks. Hopefully this use case makes clear the utility of being able to refresh everyone at once. Can you please make sure it is added to that feature on the development list?
