What I would like to be able to do is create an event, say 1881 Census, enter all the people and information listed in that event and then link that event back to everyone listed in that census.  This would prevent having to make that entry for everyone and save disk space, I would think.  I realize I could just copy and paste, but then if I want to make changes, I have to go back to everyone to make the changes, instead of just being able to change the main one.  I could probably do it through source but then it would not appear unless I added source to reports, I would prefer it to appear under events so it would appear with that information.  Maybe there is a way to do this that I am missing, I know the last time I suggested something, it was already there and someone told me how to use it and that has saved me a lot of time. 
 
I found the same thing for photos, I did the copy and paste with the information intact and added the photo to all the people in the photo.  Later I found the name of another person in the photo and had to go back and find all the people I had attached that photo to and make the change in them.
 
I think the suggestion of a form with auto fill fields is an excellent one and this might also solve this problem for me.
