It is SO wonderful to have the multiple source option back! I have SCADS of times when I have found sources that document an event and have been SO frustrated at having to enter each source separately since Legacy removed the ability to apply multiple sources at the same time. Too many times, I have had to expend inordinate amounts of time and effort entering five (and even more) sources to an event for dozens of individuals!
When you have multiple source that confirm an event, it is imperative to have the ability to enter all the sources at one time. Hours of effort and frustration saved. I am SO VERY glad Legacy has restored this much needed function!!!!!!!!!
