In my reply to Rae Jean about my use of the Cen Search tag I wrote:

<<I use the Cen Search tag to highlight the need to search a particular
census for a certain individual/household. <snip> If I am looking for a
family group I make the likely Head of Household (usually the father)
Principal 1. I attach all the other members of the household whom I expect
to find enumerated with him as witnesses to the tag ... <snip> I attach to
the tag any sources I have giving evidence for the address. I also attach a
Research Task. In the Memo field of the Research Task I enter relevant
information (names & ages of people I expect to find, evidence for the
address, location of the address etc). I run a List of Tasks report filtered
on the keyword Census.>>

It is annoying having to type into the Memo field of the Research Task the
information about people already linked to the tag as witnesses & the
evidence for the location which is already linked to the tag in the sources.
I should like to propose an enhancement to the List of Tasks report whereby,
as well as including the tag Memo, we could also include any Witnesses or
Sources linked to the tag.

As the non-chart reports are not included in FTST, I assume that they are
still being developed for TMG 5.0. If any of the version 5.0 beta testers
see merit in my proposal, could they please pass it on for consideration?
