Yes and a copy of the index entry in the Source Detail Text. Yes it would be good to see the Source Detail related to the Template as you're setting up the Master Source. The quickest way is to set up the source through the Source Clipboard and select the new source for the Clipboard so that you don't actually have to assign a source to see the details.
Then if it doesn't do what you want you can go back to the Master Source list through the Clipboard and delete and try again.
