Printing the birth year of adults
There has been a subtle change in the way that churchCRM prints the birth date in the directory report compared to churchinfo.
churchinfo: birth year only printed if a person is a child
churchCRM: birth year printed unless 'Hide Age' flag is set
Is it possible to have the old functionality back for consistency or must I go through the database and set the 'Hide Age' flag for all adults?
I ran an update in the database to set the hide age flag for all adults and that has the desired effect.
May be worth adding a note in the documentation for those coming over from churchinfo.
+1. I'd like to have a "migration / update" wizard where we can address these functional changes.

It makes sense to me never to print the year of the date for adults in the directory but to include it for children. For other parts of the application the 'hide age' flag makes sense.
We've had parents request that their children's birth year not be included in the directory as well...
I think the default should be to hide the age, less chance of an oops! And from personal experience some congregants are very sensitive to their age being public.
