#1354 Change Indi ID in Raw Editing

[Meliza Amity]

It is possible to change the individual ID using Raw editing.

Currently we need to update (using Family Raw editing) the individual ID also in his Family records.

The Family records should be changed automatically when the individual ID is changed.

How can we know if you are correcting a mistake or just changing it? There are times when you want to change an indi's number and not change the ID in the family (such as discovering that the individual who you thought was married to XYZ is in fact a different person. You might just change the husband's ID and not the one in the family.

Also the old individual, whose ID was changed, remains in the Gedcom file.
Both the old and the new individual are linked to the same families.
The families are only linked to the old individual.

John,

This is a problem for Max in 4.0.
We should also have a solution in 4.1, as we have discussed.
