Overview

Change_date_record is part of many other records, recording the date and time that the parent record was last altered. It also allows for a comment to be added. Probably not that useful, as the standard only allows for one of these in a parent record. It would be more useful to have a history of changes using multiple Change_records. It would also help to have them in more records.

=CHANGE_DATE:= n CHAN 1:1 +1 DATE <CHANGE_DATE> 1:1 +2 TIME <TIME_VALUE> 0:1 +1 <<NOTE_STRUCTURE>> 0:M

The change date is intended to only record the last change to a record. Some systems may want to manage the change process with more detail, but it is sufficient for GEDCOM purposes to indicate the last time that a record was modified.

The attributes are all arrays for the level +1 tags/records. * Those ending in ref are GEDCOM XREF index keys * Those ending in record are array of classes of that type. * The remainder are arrays of attributes that could be present in this record.
