What is wrong with this screenshot?

The two volumes from the Ante-Nicene Fathers point to the first translation in the series - not to the translations of Methodius the topic of the Factbook page
The Works section of Factbook makes no effort to list the multiple works translated in the series giving an incorrect impression of what is available in Logos - which means my PB supplemental books from Slavonic are not well presented when I shared them.
It appears that there are no milestones for the author despite multiple works in multiple languages - EDIT: okay one work (virgins) has milestones

@MJ. Smith I have created tickets for issues 1 and 3.

For issue 2, it sounds like you want each work by Methodius listed individually. Some of these works are fragments, and I am not sure it is practical to list them all like this. It would take up a lot of "real estate". Imagine what this would look like in the Factbook entry for Augustine!

It is entirely possible I am misunderstanding your description of issue 2, just let me know if that is the case.

Sorry Joe, it is not you, it is the company that is so myopic I am becoming disillusioned. Point one: Logos must keep the academic market satisfied because professors influence/dictate the pastors' choice of software and the pastors influence/dictate what the staff uses and the pastors and staff influence what the lay person uses. Lose the prof and you kill the chain. Academics are far more concerned with completeness and accuracy than the average pew warmer. Logos must be more complete and more accurate than AI to justify users funding you.

Point two: Quit thinking "sola scriptura" and think "authoritative" which includes the rabbinic canon, the church councils, the church fathers, the confessional documents etc. Note authoritative comes in many levels - scripture may be of higher authority than the other documents I mention, but catechisms, position papers, ecumenical joint statements, etc. draw on all the authoritative texts. As a lay person reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church, I should be able to check ALL authoritative references …as should a Lutheran reading the Book of Concord etc. …To me it is irrelevant that Augustine wrote many things … I should be able to easily find ANY work of Augustine or find the information needed to find works not in Logos.
