Archive previous child?

[contagon]

Hey all,

We recently just had another little one! We used babybuddy for our previous one as well and plan to use it again as it was great last time. Obviously, our older child doesn't need babybuddy anymore, but his name appears in all the menus, requiring an extra click for doing anything. This is a bit tedious as he obviously isn't being tracked anymore, but I am hesitant to delete all his data.

I was curious if there is a way to "archive" a previous child? This way I get to keep his data but he doesn't appear in menus anymore.

Did you ever found a solution to this? I haven't found a feature to archive or deactivate a children so far. Maybe a way to do this is to export all the data for any given child, and deleting the child. However, Im not sure if there is a way to cleanly export all the data, including all the entries and media associated with a given child that could be later imported into babybuddy.

No, I never had any luck. I simply prefixed our older kid's name with a "z" so it would at least be at the bottom of all the lists. Would love a real fix if anyone figures it out

Hopefully someone improves it by adding an option to archive or deactivate a child. It seems like a basic feature but haven't seen any discussion or plans to implement it. Another option would be to restrict the scope of users so that only selected children are shown for a given user... but again, I have not found any way of achieving this.
