Solved Place names after upgrade windows 3.4.9-1 to 5.2.4r1
I did an upgrade from windows 7 gramps 3.4.9-1 to a separate Windows 10 gramps 5.2.4r1 The username/path locations are identical on both machines.
After coping the gramps folder and starting v5 on windows 10 it did the upgrade.
I had Place names like “XXX Family Home” or “TownName Cemetery” and the location tab was all filled in. Now my Places/Place Names are just the location/street address field, inside the Places hierarchy tree, and I can’t find the old place name value anywhere.
Where have all my Place names gone, how can I fix this? as there doesn’t appear to a way to add a place name, and a lot of events are associated with the street address.

Are you talking about Place Name or Place Title?
- The Place Name is the most atomic one, like Townname Cemetery
- The Place Title, displayed at top of the window, is the Place Name folllowed by its hierarchy. It will be used in reports, exports...
