Create Links Doesn't Always Work

[miqrogroove]

I just discovered that the links are created only when searching by name.

Sometimes I have individuals with partial or no name records, so instead of searching by name I will search by ID such as I444. This seems to work because the tag appears and the associated name appears in the sidebar. However, the Individuals list does not change. So it is creating the correct face tag by ID, but then fails to associate the media with the individual record.

This behavior seen in v2.6.5

After upgrading to webtrees 2.0.9 the problem is a bit worse because the face tag now shows the ID instead of the dots, and provides no link to the individual page.

Seems you need click to second dropdown item for it. First item always contain just string. It's only for mark persons which not exists in webtrees or other text marks.

This also because you mark "just string". I tested it on 2.0.9 with person without name.

Tried it again today. Same problem as my original post. The sidebar link is correct, but the individual is never linked to the media object. I tagged 3 people but the media object shows only 2 individuals are linked.

The workaround is to go to the media object's Edit menu, and select "Link this media object to an individual". Then I have both the correct sidebar links and object links.

Did you test the Create Links setting?

I have no time to set up videos right now. Here are screen shots of the 3 steps that are not working.

Okay seems you select right. But I can't reproduce it on my instance.
