5 CONC GEDCOM/PLAC-Tag#Location_Records
</nowiki>
# Should Gramps be exporting GEDCOM custom tags? These tags (starting with an '_' example: "_LOC") are defined by GEDCOM specifications as legal ways to extend the Gramps specification. Programs that do not recognize these tags are supposed to ignore them except for some sort of warning to the user. Gramps does this for our own import by including these in an error dialog after import, as ell as notes in the database associated with the object when possible. Gramps already exports a few of these tags for other purposes.
# How do we want to include this into Gramps?
#: Could The code is developed under gramps50 branch. But for release it could easily be developed in changed to Gramps master, for release at 5.1 timeframe, or (with more work) developed as an Addon which would replace current libgedcom.py for 5.0 branch. Or even as a 'bug' for gramps50 branch.
=== Comments ===
Round trip GEDCOM in to GEDCOM out will not be transparent for all the fields in the GEDCOM L _LOC record. Data should not be lost, but some data will get converted to Notes, which would be inconvenient for users.
