Eg for Persons there might be a location. Or perhaps the ID should just be shown.

At the moment one just has to guess, save, and hopefully remember to go back, check and edit again if needed.

It would be helpful if some other disambiguating information could be shown as well - if possible. Eg for Persons there might be a location. Or perhaps the ID should just be shown. At the moment one just has to guess, save, and hopefully remember to go back, check and edit again if needed. ![Ian_Robertsons_Menu](/uploads/35763a01b6daa3d2e1cb36925a991971/Ian_Robertsons_Menu.png)![Ian_Robertsons](/uploads/6c6ca3cc4f5577d3edc7bbc64b135b1a/Ian_Robertsons.png)
