Hi, I’m Skyler and new to the forum. I’ve been using GenoPro for about a month and ran into an issue I can’t solve. I’m trying to export my family tree to Excel after adding a few custom tags like "MigrationYear" and "MedicalNote." The XML report generates fine inside GenoPro, but when I run the Excel export with the Descendants Report template, it throws a script error about "TagItem" not being found (line 184, char 2). I already tried editing Dictionary.xml to include my tags, but it still fails, so I’m wondering if the script itself has to be changed to recognize new fields or if I’m missing a simpler step. Has anyone dealt with this before?

Hi Skyler and welcome to the forum.

I'm not sure why or how you are trying to use the Descendants Report to export your data to Excel, it certainly wasn't designed for that.

It is much simpler and flexible to use GenoPro's built-in File / Export / Export to Text Format to produce tab-separated csv files

You can choose what objects (e..g Individuals, Families etc.) to export under its Summary tab. You can choose what fields to export under the object's tab (e.g. Individuals) and this includes custom tags.

If you want to export a subset of your data I suggest you select the objects required and paste into a new .gno and run the export on that.
