'info' means what? Is it presently included as part of each Master
Source? If so, it's individualized and no, I don't think you can do it.
You could change the Master Source, i.e. Death Certificate part but
you'd lose the parts of the Master Sources that you want added to Source
Detail.

You don't need to put the person's name into the Source Detail field.
The source is already attached to each relevant person.
I would take issue with that!
Quite apart from any other reason, it makes for consistency with other
Sources where you do need to quote the relevant name.
