When in the full profile edit panel, but with the location details NOT expanded, typing TN pops up the selection of "Tennessee, USA" ... when selected, then opening the details, the City field has been filled in with 'junk' text of "[object] [Object]".

 

re: "don't know what to put it" ... it's not a matter of putting anything in!  It's just a matter of removing the "[object]" text and leaving whatever else is already there!  That's a really simple text string operation (find '[object]", remove that substring).

The 'fix' for new entry of data is working fine ... but I don't (and I'm sure others don't) remember or necessarily even noted all the places it happened over the past months.

  When is the County / City bug going to be squashed?

  Isn't it a bit ridiculous that a genealogy site can't store birth and death cities?

  When I paste "Ben Wheeler, Van Zandt, Texas, United States" into the location field I get and select the option "Ben Wheeler, TX 75754, USA" but when I got back and check the result the county ("Van Zandt) is now listed in the city field!
  
  This County / City screw up has been wrong for something like 5 months+.  

  Please fix this... it's makes geni look really bad.

  The [Object] [Object] bug has been fixed. You do have to re-enter previous entries for the fix to be applied. I have created a ticket for David's issue with Ben Wheeler, TX.

  It might be nice if Geni could run a scan looking for that [Object] [Object] and run scrip to fix them...

  Hi Dan - we would if we could, but we don't have any way of knowing what information to fill in. I apologize for the inconvenience.
