The address is saved as being of type "home". That's what
the "primary" refers to. "Primary" could also refer to the
first address linked to the patient which would fit as well.
Where primary would mean "first among only one", it has no real meaning over and above a person's *only* address and, by definition during person creation, the new person starts by having *no* address and as the widget makes possible the entry of only *one* address the whole concept of "primary" seems out of context.
Where primary might mean "best" or "preferred" or "most often used" or "currently in use" --- even if supported in the backend but which is not currently evident in the GUI --- it acquires no relevance to the user until a second address would be added, at which point the capacity to (re) designate which is primary becomes relevant and needed.
can the text say instead
"That address will be saved for this person with any
modification(s) below."
Hm, that wouldn't be quite correct - if any modifications
are made either an entirely new address is created or
an*other* existing address is linked to the person.
Actually, based on my observation of 0.5.rc4 behaviour, an entirely new address is created *and* this new address is assigned to the newly created person. So there is not even a white lie. I would say, in the now-labeled-"Search (modify)" field tooltip:
