Is that an event for an individual? The Legacy Help is quite clear in saying that marriage related substitutions will not work in individual events. This is reasonable considering that a person may have multiple marriages and then Legacy would not know which marriage to use for the [husbsurname] or [wifemarriedname].

If the sentence is used in an event for the marriage and your override does not work then you have a bug that you should submit to Support.

I have the following written as an override in an event:

Mrs. [WifeMarriedSurname] was a [desc] [inPlace].

Now let's say Mary Smith married Don Juan.

It should read "Mrs. Juan was..." but Legacy's output is "Mrs. Smith was...". I have Smith in the individual's surname, then her married name as an alternate.

Now if I swap her married name with her maiden name, it reads Mrs. Juan but then I get the error that her married name is the same as her husband's. Well, yeah.

Did I maybe find a glitch?

Alternatively, I thought I could simply do it this way:
Mrs. [HusbSurname] was a [desc] [inPlace].

Nope! It still shows Smith.

Why?

I'm so confused.
