The only time I use the 3 bar thing is when I am adding a new person. For example, let's say I am adding a new child found on a census records. I hit the 3 bar to source the name, and date of birth. The event will already be sourced because I set up the event on the head of household's page and then just copy the entire event. I have to manually source the relationship to father and mother because the 3 bar won't source that.

I just decided to never use that 3-bar icon as it can completely mess up how sources are assigned.
