Can anyone tell me how to get the picklist, and the subject's name line
to show the correct birth date?

I stumbled across the copy person feature as I was trying to cut down my
entry time for a case where I had one name, one source (an email) and
two ages and/or different supposed fathers depending on which of the
writer's sources you believed.

I unticked all but the individual events from the box and had my copied
person with birth and source data.
I then changed the birth date year and added the different father and
thought "another job done".

Later, looking in the picklist I was rather suprised to see two
identical people, with the same birth date.
The birth event shows the different dates but the picklist, even when
refreshed, shows the original copied dates, not the revised ones.
