This is correct - you can select "Event..." and then choose Occupation from the list of events and what you get is a field with the name Occupation and the content also starts with the word Occupation. However, you can have several Events called Occupation throughout the life of the person (and beyond) - unlike Birth, Christening, Death and Burial where there is a single value. So you only see the first event that is an occupation. This would often be the first chronologically and so the most junior position the person held. OK you can sort the events so that the one you want to see on the screen is at the head of the list, but it may then look out of context in a report.
I have changed the Cause of Death field, as I find that of little interest to me, to User ID, which is my own way of numbering people that aids filing and also shows relationships.

But in the list of Field Names to Display there is one called "Event...". Selecting it will pop up the Event list and you can choose the event you want displayed in the Family View. -- Dennis M.
