Judy, I haven't. As far as I know it has always worked like this, and to be honest I prefer it. Often when adding a comment I will wish to use it again, for example if I use a child's birth certificate to establish the parents I will use it for both the father and mother.
I know it is there, so it isn't a big deal to remember that I must delete the comment before reusing. I admit to forgetting now and again, but I consider that to be my problem and not the program's, and I guess I would get more annoyed by repeatably having to put something into that section because the program has deleted it. BTW. I have always thought of those additional sections as part of the Detail. I look at the the Master Source as being something which will be absolutely the same for all users of that Master Source ie. something which will *never* be changed whereas everything else which relates to an individual, or only a specific number of individuals, I consider to be the Detail. Whilst I am at it, and as an example, let's consider censuses, which currently are the subject of another thread. I am a lumper so my Master Source contains nothing other than (say) 1891 Census England + census reference, with (say) Ancestry as the Repository (and it annoys me that the Repository is no longer part of the Detail). Everything else which I wish to include is in the Detail (including the Comments etc.). Works perfectly, even if I have to create a new Master Source should I use Findmypast! Shame on you Legacy <grin>.
