I've just started to play with the shared events in V8 and have hit a small snag.
Under V7.5, whenever I had a marriage certificate I would enter the marriage details for the couple. Then I would add a marriage event called "Witnesses" where I would list the witnesses names. If the witnesses were in my tree I would add a "Marriage Witness" event to the people concerned. This bit is easy to replace with the shared event. I would also add an event to each of the couples fathers. This was an occupation event and the sentence reads (in part) "[OnDate] [Notes] said he was a [Desc]" So we might get "On 16 Jun 1896 his son George's marriage certificate said he was a labourer". This is the bit I can't see how to replicate. I tried setting up a "Groom's father" role so I could build the basic part of the sentence but I can't see how to get the occupation into the shared event. Essentially, I need to add information from the certificate which isn't in the base event. I'm guessing that this is impossible, but I live in hope. Advice would be appreciated.
