Forking a Record

"Forking" a record means splitting a single record into two separate records: the original record, and a new "child" record. The new child record can receive some of the relations from the original record. Forking is currently supported for Person and Location records. Additional record types will be forkable in the future.

Clicking on the icon on the record detail view should reveal an interface similar to the one below.

Changing the values of the name fields will alter the child record only.

For each relation type (e.g. attendance, affiliation), select the relations that should be transferred to the new child record. Note that these relations will no longer be associated with the original record.

When you're finished selecting relations, click "Save". This will create the new child record, transfer any selected relations, and then redirect you to the detail view for the new child record.
