This would likely replace [[Person ID field]]; [[Generate Person IDs]] would still need to be done to enter this into [[L_Person table]].
{{Discuss | Do we even still need the [[L_Person table]] if we have this field? It contains last updated and death. Since we never got hospital deaths, we probably don't use that field. And I doubt we use the last-updated field - and in any case, it could easily be recreated from data, no need to store it. Unless of course we want to use it so we can streamline the re-checking and re-indexing of data somehow. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 09:28, 2022 March 24 (CDT)}}
