When working on my family tree I am constantly lossing Loss of Place of Birth, Place of Marrage, Place of Death Data.  This can require numerous updates to add the data back (shows up as an inconsistency in data).  You should only have to rnter this data once, not upwards of a dozen times.  It appears to happen when updating a profile downstream in the family tree as more data is added from data matches etc.

  I have now isolated the issue to how the data is entered.  The problem only occurs if the place data is entered in the collapsed Place of Birth / Place of Death / Place of Burial / Place of Marriage fields. eg you enter Perth, WA, Australia

  If the fields are expanded to show the 9 individual fields that are available and the data is entered into the individual field boxes then the loss of data issue does not occur.
