#2026 4.1.4 Research_Assistant Fields not being parsed as expected

[J.R. Oldroyd]

When adding info using RA's Census forms (e.g., CensusUK1891) there are fields for the source citation:
Book, Folio and Page. These form the CENS record's SOUR/PAGE field. No problems there.

Then are also fields for the census location: County, Town/Parish. These should form the PLAC field, but instead they're being put into a TEXT field.

There is then a field "Street Address" which seems to me to be for the family's residential address... no? In fact, it is being prepended to the census location and added to the abive TEXT field (which should be PLAC) in the GEDCOM. I'd have thought this should go in the ADDR field?

Further down, you are prompted for the person's "Age Last Birthday" which is also given in the census. I'd have thought this should be parsed and added to the AGE field of the CENS record, shoudn't it? It isn't being. It's just staying in the same TEXT field as above.

These problems are probably the same for all the Census forms, or at least all the CensusUK forms.

There may also be a problem with the insertion of the TEXT field and its CONT fields. I am seeing:
<pre>
1 CENS^M
2 DATE ...^M
2 PLAC ...^M
2 _RATID 8^M
2 SOUR @S9@^M
3 PAGE ...^M
3 DATA^M
4 DATE ...^M
4 TEXT ...^M
2 CONT ...^M
2 CONT ...^M
2 CONT ...^M
2 CONT ...^M
2 CONT ...^M
2 CONT ...^M
</pre>
Shouldn't that be "5 CONT ..." ?

In other places, I am seeing the CONT fields as "T CONT ..." and "Q CONT ...".

The incorrect tag being added on the CONT fields is due to an error in ra_form.php. I am uploading a patch for this.

I am now also uploading a patch which fixes the other issues mentioned here, with the exception of parsing the AGE out into the CENS record.

It is clear that the CensusUKnnnn.php forms were created from their US counterparts. In the UK versions, the variables $city, $county and $state are actually being used to hold the street, city and county respectively. This confusing use of the variables has led, I think, to incorrectly putting all the information in the PLAC field rather than splitting it between the ADDR and PLAC fields. This patch attempts to correct this.

The patch also adjusts a few layout errors that I noticed while I was at it.

This patch is for CensusUK1891.php.

If others agree that this patch is OK, the same changes need to be made to all the other CensusUKnnnn.php forms.
