Jenny,
I think you should just go ahead and report that as a bug. If it was ever
intentional, then it was a design bug (as opposed to a programming bug).
After the 'Comments about this master source' have been surreptitiously
copied to the 'Comments' field, can you manually clear the Comments field,
as a workaround?

please

I have a Comment on a Master Source which is *not* checked for inclusion
in Reports, but it is being included, and it is included on every Citation
using that Master Source.
Further information about this. I now see why this is occurring. On some
SW templates (I have now seen it on Artifacts>Privately held and Family
Group Sheet>Privately held) there is a field named "Comments" on the
Source Info screen, the "main" screen for inputting Master Source data.
Any text which is entered into the usual "Comments about this master
source" field are automatically copied into the "Comments" field.
Obviously the "Comments" field is not picking up on the contents of the
checkbox for "Include on Reports" which appears under the "Comments about
this master source". (Nor the First time/Each time radio buttons.)
I wonder if a Legacy staffer could comment on whether or not this is
intentional. I hope it is *not* because I usually use the "Comments about
this master source" for information which I do not wish to have appear on
Reports and where the entry is quite long I certainly don't want it
appearing every time the Master Source is cited. I can conceive of
occasions when one would want to add a "Comment" to be part of the printed
Master Source *and* "Comments about this master source" which were not for
publication.
For the moment I am working around the problem by including my long
not-for-publishing comments in the "Copy of the text from this master
source" field over which I have some control!
