I’ve got something that feels like a bug or something I just don’t understand about filters.
Two things. First, I was entering a new character into the software and it absolutely refused to let me type in certain specific death dates. I generally put a default “50-100 year life span” for all newly entered characters until I later decide when they actually die. This used to work nicely, but now it’s giving me grief. Notice the red outline around the date below despite the fact that this should be valid.
It lets me put the year in without the month, but entering a month makes it invalid. Other times it lets me put in things like “Apr 2888” but “May 2888” it says is invalid. Very weird. I ended up having to use the mouse to slide the character’s end point to the correct spot.
Next, I’ve got a filtering problem that I have somehow created. I’ve got a filtered view that just shows my character Nyx. This makes her age show up in the top ruler, which is what I want. But within this view, I created two more characters: Juniper and Aurelian. I put in their birth/death dates and got to the point where I wanted to filter them back out. Only I realized… the view already was set to Nyx only! So these new characters now seem to be permanently filtered along with Nyx as if they were one person. See screenshot below.
This feels like a bug to me. Is there any way I can get the two new characters to not appear when I filter for Nyx alone?
