Re: Name change for a country

Here is a diff for a kludge fix for the Graphical Reports. Not elegant, but works on all the tests I did. Basically adding the event date in the place object before printing.  Edit the file libsubstkeyword.py - on my Mac, this is located at: 

/Applications/Gramps.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gramps/plugins/lib/libsubstkeyword.py

I don’t know the full path for Win or Linux.
