<Unknown> Hidden Details

Another post about “how to enter Names if you don’t know them”, led me to do a Search for “unknown”. Got the expected results but a few confused me. There were some blank names listed in the Index so why are they there?

The Index showed several people that had no first & last name. Just empty.

When opening the Edit Person, it showed nothing for first/last name as in the index, however, when looking at the Details panel, the first name was and nothing for surname.

Removing the <> did show Unknown in the Detail pane and Edit Person.

When there are <> around a date, it is hidden in the Edit view but shows that there is date in the Details pane. Removing the <> will actually display the date.

Just something I did not know and wanted to pass along.

Did not know about that specific scenario

I built an audit scripts that I check once or twice a month for things like that – now I will need to add that one for “<”. (for RM10 advanced Rules)

Anything after a less than sign is not displayed in the edit window. I notice the problem mostly in the description field
It’s a programming bug that I’ve complained about in between 8 beta.
