Plugin Store

This plugin is complementary to the Change Specific Fact Tag plugin.  Instead of changing a specific single fact, this plugin allows selected instances of a defined tag to be changed or deleted in bulk.

The plugin allows any Individual Fact, or Family Fact, or Level 1 Tag, to be deleted or changed.
It 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.
