Age limit and fixed date

[PC-Smith]

It's possible disable age limit (show persons with 500 yo if not marked as dead) or set a fixed date (fix 2000 and person born in 1990 will always shown 10 yo)?

At the moment the age limit is hard-coded as 120 (years) in:

1. Birthday notifications
2. Person's dates detail displayed all across the app
3. Age calculated to sort people in Persons list

When the age exceedes this limit, a person is not marked as dead (black ribbon). The black ribbon appears only when a person has a Death or Burial event.

Anyway, I agree to add a setting to modify this years age limit. I would put it at app-level, not at tree or person-level. It could not be completely disabled, but it could be set up to 999999999 years.

However, I don't understand the "fixed date" question. Maybe you want to add a Death event common for all the persons of a tree (e.g. a cataclysm)?

Firstly, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering adjusting the age limit shown. Second, the "fixed date" would be a configuration to place a specific date to be considered in the age calculation, which currently considers the date in the cell phone configuration, I imagine.

For example, I set the date to "May the 4th, 2000", so, if a person was born in 1980, the display age will be 20 yo instead of 43 yo. Family Echo, the site I used before migrating to FamilyGem, has a configuration like this.

With commit 007fd58 I have added a brand new tree settings activity, where the user can set:

• Maximum life span
• Custom date to calculate age

Sorry if the question is stupid, but what would a use case for this be ? Why would I set the date to May 4, 2000 when we're in the year 2023? .asking because I'm curious and maybe it's something useful that I haven't yet considered myself and would use once I know about it

It can be used to easily calculate the age of multiple people in a given year. For example, how old each of your uncles was when your father was born. Another use is for fictional characters whose story takes place in a specific year.

Can this ticket be closed then?

[PC-Smith]

Yes. Can you do it or do I have to do it? I'm new to Github, I don't really know how things work here.
