I try to word everything so that it makes sense both now and at any point in
the future (e.g., 10 years from now). The word ‘present’ would be completely
ambiguous. I would try to get the event to read nicely while leaving the end
date out. You might have to use the notes field instead of the date field. In
notes, you can say things like ‘she started in 1980 and was still in that
position as of Apr 2014’.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Potential Problem - Unrecognized Event Date
In trying to clean up my Potential Problems, my sister has an unrecognized
event date. I am trying to say that she worked at her present position from
"1980 - present." If I want to say that, how do I do so? Should I not have
spaces around the dash (similar to actual dates), do I leave "present" out or
do I just say that's what I want and exclude it?
