Choosing a spouse as the other parent for Hints 591 and 592

I have been working on this week's Data Doctors Challenge: Add missing Find A Grave connections between existing profiles, in particular, Hints 591 and 592 for possible father and possible mother.  I have worked on these quite often in the past.  At the screen that has the options for creating a new profile or connecting an existing profile, if I enter the WikiTree ID for the parent and choose Continue, I remember there was a next step if the parent was married.  It was an option to accept or reject the name or names that would appear for the spouse(s) of the parent.  That step no longer appears.  If the parent has a spouse, then it requires going back through all the steps to edit the child's profile again and add the other parent.

What am I missing or misunderstanding?

I have also noted that it will only connect the one parent but if you copy the WikiTree ID of the Child (the one your trying to connect), then go to the Parent profile & then add the Child there ( as an existing profile) then you get the other Parent/Spouce connect option

If you're connecting a spouse, it does ask about kids.  If you connect them as a parent, it doesn't.  you can unconnect the spouse and then reconnect (as a spouse) and it will prompt for the kids that way, vs adding them each separately.

It shows up if you connect another spouse to someone who already has children without another parent attached.
