Hi June,
Are all your Census Events - as entered at the moment - for the same
Census (ie country/state/whatever) and year? Such as 1861 England
Census, or 1920 US Census, etc.
If they are, then you could go to the Event Definition (View > Master
Lists > Event Definitions...) and edit your census event for that one
instance, and it will change all current events.
When you want to start entering events for other years/places, you can
create a new Event Definition for that particular situation.
I prefer to have just one Event Definition for census entries, and I put
the year in the Date field, along with a description of the person from
the census data (eg, "10-year-old scholar born in Yorkshire", or
"45-year-old weaver").
Once you decide how you're going to handle this, if it's a big job to
make the changes you want you can tag everyone using the census event,
then as you update your census events for each person to your liking
untag them again. Those who are tagged at any time still need work, and
are quickly found by searching on that tag - so you can go off and work
on other people and come back to your tagged ones any time.
Hope this helps. :-)
Wendy

When I initially started entering census information through 'Events' I did
not put the date of the census.
I now have hundreds of entries I would like to put the dates on but it's
taking ages doing them individually.
Is there a way I can edit the event and put the date in so that it will
apply to all those entries in my file.
I've looked at the help file but with had no luck.
Thank you - June
