Plugin Store

This plugin allows any type of Individual Fact, or Family Fact, or Level 1 Tag, to be deleted or changed in bulk.
It is complementary to the Change Specific Fact Tag plugin that allows one single instance of a fact to be changed.

This plugin supports all Standard Facts, Custom Facts, Defined GEDCOM Tags and UDF Tags (including Project-only Fact Sets).
Source data can be selected by Value, Date, Place or Records via Filters.
When an Attribute is converted to an Event its Value is saved in a SOURce Note.
When an Event is converted to an Attribute and an _UNCAT UDF exists, its value is moved to the Attribute Value.
Corrects abnormal UDF Tag values, such as @@S99@@ record links.
Allows confirmation of changes, keeps Log Files, creates Result Set of changes, and retains settings across all Projects.

See the Help & Advice pages for more details and examples of use.

For further support please post in the Family Historian User Group forums or Family Historian at Groups.io email where the plugin author will answer your questions which can be supplemented with screenshots if necessary.
