Managing People Data

I am trying to better manage the details of each person in the people list.  I am using "Consider Lifetime" and I want to look across all people to ensure a good date "Birth Date" and "Death Date". I know I could just go down the list and click on each person, but that is quite tedious.  I could probably figure out how to export and process the json file, but I don't know how to do that.  I tried to use the filter/search bar with prefix "dob:", but that is limited as I couldn't figure out how to filter for blank dates or "dod:".  I am posting this here to see if others have a better way to handle this.

If not, here are some potential enhancement suggestions:
- Improve the Search/Filter bar options to include "dod:" and ways to negate the search text
- Add a grid view of People with ability to sort and filter by columns containing the people details
- Change People View Layout to optionally include DOD along with DOB
- In Dashboard Events and People, similar to "Person with Unknown Gender" show problematic dates (like missing DOB, missing DOD, DOB greater than DOD, or age>110).

As always, feature requests should go into the dedicated feature request board.
FR's strewn into general discussion posts will be forgotten and never considered.

Adding a special token like dob:none is not hard do to, but was just never requested before.

Click a view times on the layout button to switch to the detailed layout:

Unless you deal with hundreds of persons, scrolling down in this layout should show you very quickly which persons have no dod or dob date.
