In editing raw GEDCOM, sometimes I can type the tag in lower case and webtrees converts it to upper case without complaint.

But if I try to add

1 birt
2 date 16 jun 1977

with or without a trailing line break, I get

Invalid GEDCOM data passed to Fact::_construct(1 birt
2 date 16 jun 1977,X2600) …/app/Fact.php:191
#0 …/app/GedcomRecord.php(1081): Fisharebest\Webtrees\Fact->__construct()
#1 …/app/GedcomRecord.php(900): Fisharebest\Webtrees\GedcomRecord->parseFacts()
#2 …/app/Http/RequestHandlers/EditRawRecordAction.php(87): Fisharebest\Webtrees\GedcomRecord->updateRecord()
#3 …/app/Http/Middleware/RequestHandler.php(54): Fisharebest\Webtrees\Http\RequestHandlers\EditRawRecordAction->handle()
#4 …/vendor/oscarotero/middleland/src/Dispatcher.php(136): Fisharebest\Webtrees\Http\Middleware\RequestHandler->process()
#5 …/modules_v4/vesta_research_suggestions/ResearchSuggestionsModule.php(304): Middleland\Dispatcher->handle()
#6 …/vendor/oscarotero/middleland/src/Dispatcher.php(136): Cissee\Webtrees\Module\ResearchSuggestions\ResearchSuggestionsModule->process()
#7 … et cetera

So, one could argue that it's incorrect to accept lower case tags, or one could argue that rejecting them should not be done.

Personally, I find it convenient to not have to hold down the shift key. But I have enough OCD to see some value in being picky.

Perhaps Postel's advice is pertinent: "Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others."

I made some more entry errors, and the results are interesting.

If I add a 2 type married to a 1 NAME, it gets converted to 2 TYPE married

If I inadvertently add 1 type married to a name (forgetting the '2'), I get the "Invalid GEDCOM data" with stack trace

if I add 1 TYPE married to a name (forgetting the '2'), it shows on the facts page as INDI:TYPE in red

Obviously, I shouldn't be doing those things, but it would be nice to have the second one behave the same as the third.

This is all interesting, but given the limited time that Greg and the other developers have, I would really question if it is worth ANY time at all correcting errors that users introduce through editing raw GEDCOM records. My understanding is that this is really intended as a power-user feature, and maybe there needs to be more of a "use at your own risk" warning.

You could go down an incredible rabbit-hole of ever-increasing validation complexity that simply makes the product bloated and fragile, without adding any real value.

Personally I'd rather see time spent improving the UX and database.

Just my own thoughts

Since I installed webtrees 2 I can't add notes or shared notes to research tasks when using the 'normal' webtrees edit page. Currently, the only way for me to do so is by editing raw GEDCOM records. I do this with a lot of care, but I'm not perfect, so if there is some "auto-magic" around to help me, I'm grateful for that....
