I want to add some custom tags to all new persons.
Is it possible to do it automatic?
For now I've defined the following tags:
1 _SORT
2 RESN CONFIDENTIAL
1 EXID
2 TYPE RIN

and when the person doesn't have a noticed "1 SEX":
1 SEX U

Best regards
Marianne

Short answer: no. At least, not without creating your own custom module.

In your tree preferences there's a list of tags under "Facts for new individuals". Those are level 1 tags and afaik you can't influence their level 2 (and 3) subtags.

Afaik "1 RIN" is valid (5.5) GEDCOM, and shorter than "1 EXID 2 RIN". In the old version you could add "RIN" to the list of facts present on the form to create new individuals, but I can't find how to add either EXID or RIN without resorting to editing raw data.

Also I wonder how you manage to create individuals without "1 SEX". If you found any recently, then do some research on how these got into your database. Data entry with the webtrees forms is almost fool proof (apart from network hickups which may create records with incomplete data) but via GEDCOM import anything is possible. And I understand you had the habit of round-tripping often.

stamboom.BertKoor.nl runs on webtrees v2.1.20
