The source clipboard is awesome and I think you'll find the "Prompt

Yes, I'm sure that the SOURCE clipboard does that, but what I've been
talking about is the EVENT clipboard.
In the particular case that we've been discussing, I would want the
entire Census Event from the first individual to be copied and pasted
into all of the other individuals, with the source detail pre-filled
from the clipboard but editable so that the line number can be changed
before the source is recorded. If I would have to either (1) go back
into each source detail to change the line numbers after the fact, or
(2) have the source detail come up BLANK so that I would need to retype
it all or use the Windows copy/paste function anyway, then it would
probably be far more trouble than it is worth.
As far as giving it a try goes... After hearing months ago that Version
7 would be coming soon and that there would be major changes to
sourcing, I decided to put all major data entry on hold until after
there is a somewhat stable release of Version 7 to play with. No point
learning now what will soon change! ;-)
