I'm among those who haven't found a use for multiple source clipboards. When they existed before I got tired of explaining to people that they all attached at once as so many though only the front tab would.
I can't imagine using multiple clipboards in this way either, Michelle. I'd get a massive headache and it would take far longer than doing them one at a time. Different children are at home in different censuses. Either the younger ones aren't born or the older ones have left home. Besides, I would have entered it as the source for relationship when I was entering the details I'd learnt from the census if I was wanting to source the relationship. A lot of my data entry was done before we could source the relationship and I was used to putting this information in for the name of parents and child. Now I tend to only specifically source the relationships for direct line and for people where the relationship has been difficult to find. Any other examples? Like Larry, I can't see any use at all for multiple source clipboards which all attach at once. On the other hand there is value in the Load and Save option to keep some sources quickly and easily accessible, with or without their current detail.
