Missing priests president

I found a odd anomaly while reviewing the organizational leadership rosters. The line for Priest quorum president is blank it has a sustaining date listed a set apart check but no name. The date listed is the correct date for the sustaining of the Bishop. So I have two questions.
1. How do I get the bishops name into the calling- (there are no blue links to click on)
2. Why did it populate his dates but not his name? (sorry the clerk side of me just has to know why)

Hmm. Obviously the information for the President of the Priests Quorum is supposed to be automatically populated from the Bishop information. In my testing, this works properly; the name and sustaining date for Priests President match those for the Bishop. There is nothing you can do in the Priests organization to change this; your only option is to work with the Bishopric organization.

You definitely have to use the built-in calling of Bishop in the Bishopric organization for the linkage to happen properly. If you accidentally or on purpose create a Custom Position in the Bishopric organization for the bishop, the information for the Priests President will not populate properly. So you should check to make sure that there is no Bishopric custom position being used for the bishop.

If that is not an issue, the only other thing I can think of is to remove the bishop from the Bishopric organization (Remove the entire row). Then add the position back in, supplying the name, sustained date and set apart status.

I am pretty confident this last step will work. When I initially tested this, the set apart flag did not transfer properly to the Priests organization. But when I removed the bishop and added him back to the Bishopric organization, the set apart flag propagated properly to the Priests organization.

The set apart flag is there as is the date just the bishops name is missing. But i will try this tomorrow.

I understand that your problem had a different manifestation. But there was a similarity in both our situations: we each had some element of the bishop position that did not properly propagate from the Bishop position in the Bishopric organization to the President position in the Priests organization. In your case, it was the name; in my case, it was the set apart flag.

However, since the procedure I described caused those two positions to become properly synchronized, I have hope that you will have the same benefit.

Just as an update I deleted him and then put him back in and it worked like a charm. thanks Alan
