The wrong value appears in the Y-DNA box of my profile on Geni @ jim Rogers

I have a I-M23 Y Chromosome match with 19 others tested by FTDNA who trace their male lines back to the same individual. (James Rogers of New London Connecticut b. 1615).. My paper trail does the same. So it is highly unlikely that any NPE has occurred in my line (in fact, another test with CRI Genetics confirms the I1 haplogorup for me). I have been in communication with an individual I believe who posted the R-M269 value from a FTDNA test of her male cousin which has propogated to my profile. His haplogroup result is available on the FTDNA database and is not close to the cluster of 20 who claim the line to James Rogers b. 1615. I have provided correspondence to show that 2 of the 20 I-M253 matches were reviewed by a genealogist in 2006, One of those two separates from her line 4 generations back...

My hope continues to be that the R-M269 value will disappear for me on this public tree. Whether I am inept or the link to FTDNA to attach personal Y-Chromosome results does not work, I can not override the R-M269 value that appears for me. Can someone assist ?

The question is: do the Curators have access permissions to remove the wrong Y-DNA assignment/propagated value?
In case they do, you can ask their help like we do with the merge requests here: https://www.geni.com/discussions/216411

You are both asking the wrong question and looking at this the wrong way. The reason the false Y-DNA-result is propagated to your profile is because there is a Y-lineage link between your profile and the profile with the other results. This means that somewhere in your Y-lineage on the Geni-tree there is a erroneous father-son relationship which propagates the results to more user than it should have. THIS IS A GOOD THING!
It means you have now detected an error in your tree, so the way to solve this is to identify where this error lies and then remove the erroneous relationship. Once that link is broken, the Y-DNA results will no longer be propagated to your part of the tree.

As long as the results posted are actual results for the person in question, then having a curator overriding the results or removing the propagation won't fix the real problem which is that there is a mistake made in your tree. The whole point of Y and mt-propagation in Geni is to identify such mistakes so they can be corrected!

If you link your FamilyTreeDNA kit to your Geni profile then your Geni profile will show your Y haplogroup.

You can click on the DNA tab here on Geni to link it or you can go to “partner applications” from within FTDNA.

Have you done this part yet? I

Has the FTDNA connection to Geni been repaired? It's been over a month since it broke.
