Many thanks for the reply. The problem with Customize 2.3 is that this does not change any settings for anyone already marked as not living.
For some reason my living people without death dates somehow now are set to not living. So this option does not work to reverse them to living. (Even if I put the minimum age of 1 to ask if living this does not apply to people already marked as not living ... it would apply though if I were entering someone new.) I have no idea all of the sudden why all my living with no death information are all marked as not living.
