If both "Father" and "Wife" are assigned to the two
Principals, no, its not a bug. If [P1] or [P2] is
assigned a Role other than that of the default
*Principal* role, the other must receive a custom role
as well. If either of those two have the default
*Principal* role, the other must as well. In the
event that you assign a specific custom role to [P1],
TMG immediately assigns a custom Role to [P2], and
usually (always?) takes the next custom Role (of that
Principal's gender) in the order they appear on the
drop down list.
