Can see that changing the fact type for everyone could be useful. What could be even more useful, would be having the ability to to change the fact type for a group. For example, say all those that have a “Residence” fact for the 1841 UK Census with a date of 06 Jun 1841. You would then be able to change the fact type to say “Census 1841” for that Group in one hit. I appreciate this tool has only just been introduced, but this would be a great addition. As far as I know, no way of globally changing Group fact types at present - happy to be corrected if there is a way in RM. ---

I suspect that this might seem like an enhancement that would be helpful only to a very few RM users. But I think this enhancement would have very wide applicability and I would be very supportive of it. In general, I think that group filtering needs to be available in many more places in RM than it is. ---

Confirming suggestion has been reported to development. ---
