Emma Marie, You might find it easiest to edit the GED file. Here a process to try. In your Swedish program, create a new tree containing 1 dummy person with a profession and 3 citations. Export to a GEDcom. Import into a new Gramps tree (with import tagging turned off in preferences). Change the Nobility title to Occupation & give the dummy a Title, change the last 2 of the citation confidences - 1 to Normal & the other to Very High. Export to GEDCOM & again to GED2. You could inspect them now to see the differenced. But instead, try importing each into the Swedish program and see if the changed data is carried through. And, if so, see if they expect it to be in a different place than you've been using. This will help in a number of ways. You can quickly correct a user methodology problem. If it is a GEDcom import/e port compatibility problem, it points to which side the issue falls so a bug report can bee filed with the right team. And you might be able to do a couple simple Find&Replace operations on the GEDcom before importing into Gramps ... after identifying the differences. -Brian On Wed, Jun 19, 2019 at 12:22, emma9158<em...@lo...> wrote: In my ancestral research, I'm using two programs, Gramps and a swedish program. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, which is why I am maintaining my ancestor tree in both. As Gramps is superior when it comes to importing GEDCOM-files correctly, I normally work in my swedish program and then export to Gramps with GEDCOM. However, every time I do this, I'm facing one minor but very time consuming problem: in Gramps, all the citations from the imported datas are set to Confidence: VERY LOW. This, I have to edit manually, and it takes forever. Is there a way to mass-edit the confidence level to "Normal" without having to do it for every post? It is possible to do this with titles, where all titles are by default imported as "Nobility titles" but I can switch it to "profession" with one click. But I haven't found a way to do the same with confidence levels (and I honestly do not understand why it defaults to "Very low" instead of "normal" when importing). Many thanks in advance.
