Re: Name change for a country

Thank you for the information, especially the codes you used in the report.

I can confirm that the place information is being displayed using today's
date instead of the date of the event.

To fix, it would require submitting a bug report. The coding is well beyond
me. The good news, this is an addon report so as soon as someone can solve
this it can be sent out as an update.

Gramps' menu >> Help >> Report a Bug.  You do need to create a login
profile to file a report.

In the short term, you may want to explore the Family Tree report.
Graphical Reports\Family Tree

There are a lot of configuration options of what to include (or not) but
less options on the final output. You may have to test various page size
settings.
