FamilySearch 1940 United States Census - Citations Missing

Question

The issue: Many citations are missing from 1940 US Census records and if the person on the record is attached, they are showing as <Unknown>.

Reported on April 30th:

Here's an example:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K9SZ-3VH

Solution: The Sourcer app can build a citation:
* '''1940 Census''': "United States Census, 1940"<br/>Citing Affiliate Publication Number: T627; Line: 4;<br/>{{FamilySearch Record|K9SZ-3VH}} (accessed 4 May 2022)<br/>{{FamilySearch Image|3QSQ-G9MB-1K58}}<br/>Carl W Robinson (6) in Raymond Election Precinct, Pacific, Washington, United States.

Comments

FamilySearch still has a citation for the image, just not for the indexed record. If you click on the "information" tab below the image there a "copy citation" button to click.

Unfortunately, that's the issue, there's nothing in the clipboard when you then try to paste.

It has been like that for some while now, for a number of items.

Azure, click over to the full-size image on its own page--that's where you will find the source citation below the image. It is not empty. I have been using this citation on my profiles for the past couple of weeks since the other citation on the index page is empty. Here is one of my profiles using the 1940 U.S. Census citation in which the link takes you directly to the image. You can add a link to the index page or replace the image link with the index link if you wish.

Edited to change link.

Gotcha, thanks Nelda!

@Melanie: Thanks, didn't realize :)

On the thread here: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/comment/447717 it has been reported; then on 24 May a moderator  posted there that it is corrected, but entire 1940 Census needs to be refreshed, but some work on 1950 Census has to be done first.
