Missing relationships for Person in new timeline

In a timeline for an old project, the basic info for People included coherent biographical information available in Relationships, such as Partner, Birthplace, and more. It also included additional information under Properties, such as Occupation, Gender, and so on.

Now, in a new timeline for a new project, none of these options are available to me. I’ve gone into the advanced settings for the Item Type (Person), and there are no options to toggle these missing details in the Relationships as they are in the other, older project’s settings.

I’ve only recently started this timeline, but there is already some work in it I would rather not transfer to a new file if I don’t have to. How can I activate these other Relationships?

Have you perhaps thought about creating a template from your old project? If so, is something important missing?

I would, but the old project was from one of Aeon’s templates, and there were irritating constraints to that one I wanted to avoid with this one. It seems that I should be able to customize my own timelines to include such information as necessary, specific to each project.

If you don’t want to start from the template that contained these properties initially, you can customise your new template to add the relationships and properties you want.

You can do this in Settings (the cog icon), under the Relationship and Properties tab.

You can look at the same settings in your older project to see what you need to add to your new one.
