Hi, I'm trying to understand the usage here as this is one way I learn what can be done with GRAMPS. However, I don't see how the clipboard is useful when entering Birth or Residence events for a person. Obviously there is something different between my use and BugBear's. Are you using the Census tool? I have not used it yet. I create a residence event, and while creating that, I generate a new place the first time I encounter a need for it. Say a census identifies a new residence for a family. I open the man of the house, create a residence and the new place. Then for the woman of the house I create a new residence event, This is dead easy, only requiring to select the Residence event type by typing "R" and then I can see and choose "Residence," enter the date, and by clicking the "Select and existing place" button, can type a letter or two of the place and choose it. Repeat as needed. I create a residence event for the individuals rather than the family since I feel like where one lives is an attribute of the person, since the makeup of a family is dynamic. But in testing, creating a residence event for a family results in the place references including one residence event listing the family members. So it looks like it would work either way. A source/citation can be added to the residence event(s) to show what document(s) support that event. Viewing the place shows all the events that reference the place for me. I can see who lived there, was born there etc. If I want to see the events for that place in date order, I can open the Event view, filter on the place, and click the date column to sort the events. So that all works for me. Putting the place in the clipboard, I can't drop the place onto the residence event editor and have it accept it. What am I missing?
