BUG or UNFORTUNATE CHANGE? Factbook Name record

The name record e.g. Joshua (Name) contained the Factbook labels (name+disambiguator) for all people with the personal name of Joshua. That information is now missing from the record leaving me a bit confused as to its purpose. Is the useful information going to be reinstated soon?

Can you clarify where you previously saw that information, which is now missing?
We recently removed information from subtitles from autocomplete and the Factbook "heading section," most of was redundant. Is that what you are referring to by "record?"

I believe all of the disambiguated names are still available in the table of contents, the "Related" portion of Dig Deeper, and as individual Dictionary articles.

See Verbum Tip 2e: Multiple people with shared name - Logos Forums Note the link to the page is still in the drop down selection list. For the effort it took to find a screen shot do I get enough points to just reinstate it - it was an elegant solution.[:D]

Until the Table of contents is completely cleaned up and it positions itself correctly based on where you are, this in an impractical solution. Even if the TOC is perfect it is an inelegant replacement for an elegant solution.

the "Related" portion of Dig Deeper

I don't find it there.

as individual Dictionary articles.

Wrong information as I need the Logos label (name+disambiguation); inconsistent across dictionaries so it may not match Logos even if I mouse over/context menu every dictionary entry.

Adam - my memory was wrong. It was the name list - the Factbook entry that drew from Thompson, Jeremy, ed. Lists of Biblical People, Places, Things, and Events. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2020. that is what I was missing.
