[LegacyUG] Question about Vacation Event and Thank You for Godparent event ideas.

You can have the sentence read anyway you want and also have the source superscript if you alter the Sentence Definition. The simple way would be to type whatever you want in the Sentence Override box, but you must insert the Field [Sources] at the end of your sentence to have sources attached
