Update of a date not transferred properly.

Closed this issue ยท 11 comments

I have a date in familysearch which is different from the one in Geni. When I try to update the date using SmartCopy the date gets not updated and actually gets a different date in 2020.

The profile with the issue is:

The error happens with the date of birth

Notice that it might be the case that the error is a localization error, as I have not found this with other dates.

Se the attached picture for further info:

Abril is not a month, so that's why it doesn't translate.

I'll investigate why it's getting that though as the page itself says Apr.

That's what I mentioned it might be a localization issue, Abril is a month... in Spanish!

Some need for internationationalization there also?

SmartCopy does not do Spanish dates and I can't see really creating some table that converts dates from every language. Seems easier to just tell the user to set their language to English.

I think I can fix this though, at least for FamilySearch. There is a "localizedText" version and I specify the localization to EN.

Is not possible to get the info of the month by number?

This is the actual return I'm working with for that profile: https://familysearch.org/tree-data/person/MPWT-9FS/all?locale=en I was pulling from "normalizedText".

That link works only for you:

Missing Session Id

Sorry, the call you attempted requires a session id and I couldn't find one.

This is fixed in version 4.2.8, which should be available to Chrome browsers within the next hour.

Tested and works!
