Feature request: New field in Preferences on a tree #5028

The GEDCOM standard recognises the GEDCOM tag HEAD.NOTE in the HEAD record: GEDCOM_CONTENT_DESCRIPTION - A note that a user enters to describe the contents of the lineage-linked file in terms of "ancestors or descendants of" so that the person receiving the data knows what genealogical information the transmission contains.

I know that this tag can be maintained directly in the GEDCOM data of the header via HEAD in the search bar. But it would be nicer if this tag could be maintained in the family tree preferences. Alternatively, a link to the header form could also be provided in the preferences.

For an export of the GEDCOM file, the availability of this tag would be very useful.

Best regards, Peter

Edits to the HEAD record go through the "pending changes" system, the same as edits to all the other genealogy records.

Edits made in the control panel are written immediately to the table wt_tree_setting.

If we are going to move one of the fields into the configuration settings, then I would want to move all of them.

THis makes sense.

It would be nice to have this information available as a variable in order to use it in a html-block on the start page of the tree.
