I have a multitude of unknown spouses, which I wish to leave as blank. V7 now seems to be able to do this, although I have found an odd instance where "unknown" still appears, and have yet to work out why.
I hope that I misunderstand when you say "There needs to be a string that automatically removes the "someone" when an actual name is entered". How is a machine expected to know whether or not the unknown should be replaced, it could be a totally different relationship.
