How do I set an accurate vice-county for a record?

Submitted by A G Duff on

Forgive me if this has already been covered in this or another forum.

I found an insect close to the boundary between VC 8 (South Wilts.) an VC9 (Dorset). The six-figure grid reference is interpreted by iRecord as being in VC 9 / 8 whereas I know that it came from VC 8. The record was uploaded from a spreadsheet using the field Vice County (supplied) set to 8 - this field is ignored. I tried editing the record and setting the field Vice County to 8 but this edit was also ignored.

Records showing in incorrect place

(I know this has been reported before but there is no search option hat I can see...)

Records are still being showing correctly on the records detail page -  being centred on the bottom left of the grid square rather than the centre.

Sub locations

Apologies if this has been asked before.

Can I set up sub locations in Activities for recording? I would like to be able to create an activity boundary for a cluster of 14 farms in Suffolk, Records would be for the entire cluster but I would also like to be able to also pull out records for specific farms. Is this possible, please?
