[Gramps-users] attributes as events

[Simon L. <len...@go...>]

Hello,

i've read the wiki pages about how gramps handles events and attributes
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Events_in_GRAMPS
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Attributes_in_GRAMPS

but there is one basic thing a bit unclear for me:
Let's say i want to create an event for ḿilitary ranks
eg: two events like this:
# 1940-01-01 - 1941-01-01: Major
# 1941-01-02 - 1945-05-08: General

But where should i specify the rankname in the event?
in the description? (since there is an "auto-fill" for birth and death
events, it seems that description is the wrong field for this)
in an attribute field? (but the build in reports don't recognize
attributes at all)

Same problem for events like "occupation", ..

greetings
