Dennis,
It is a bit counter intuitive. Rather than creating a copy then making
changes to it, you have to edit the Master Source record, then
reluctantly hit save (I say reluctantly because sometimes it saves it
(if there are no people attached to it) and sometimes it asks you if you
want to save it or save it as a new Master Source (if there are people
attached to the original source), and then tell the program you want to
save it as a new master source by hitting the appropriate button. If you
are creating a bunch of sources before attaching them to people, you
cannot use this method – you must create individual new sources for each
entry.
Does anyone know it this behavior is fixed in version 7, i.e. can you do
the copy first then make changes?
I have created an unlinked individual named MASTER SOURCES and attached any
unlinked source to it.
This guarantees that the source will be copied rather than changed.
