I have always copied the new date (Ctrl-C) to the field it is to go to. Note it says first date, second date, not birth death dates. I use the program for other things. In my royal/noble British lines, many events happened and were dated this way. 6th year Henry VIII, based on a person recieving something from the King in his 6th year of reign. You have to first know the date of crowning, then calculate from the 6th byear after. Many books give the actual dates, but the transcripts of the documents don't. This is not an error, but a possible request for an enhancement. I don't want it myself, but what is needed is the same setup on the location calculator, having a drop down menu to list all the places the date might want to go to. IMHO, it is easier to copy it.
