Select BCE/AD for Both Parts of a Date Range?

+1 vote
57 views

Hi! I noticed that, when selecting Date Range for a person's birth/death date, you can't make the range include years from both BCE and AD (i.e. you can't put down that someone was born between 10 BCE and 5 AD). I use trees a lot for worldbuilding so, if adding a feature like this is possible, I think it would be a wonderful addition

(Also, it's entirely possible that this is already a feature and I just haven't figured out how to use it yet, so please let me know if this is the case)

Useing your example you'd toggle the BCE check then put 10 in for 10 BCE and -5 in for 5 AD

(I do agree that there probably should be two seperate toggles because due to the 4 character limit on years that mean the meathon I just provided can only have AD year go up to 999, though I doubt that's a problem you'll have to deal with I certain at least one person has run into said problem and if not will at some point.)
