The programmers are working on this. It's associated with a source in Ancestry.
I've worked with two users about the import from an Ancestry gedcom and missing sources. I noticed many instances where sources were exported as source detail, but no actual source was exported for the detail to be linked to. It's a mess! Anytime you import a gedcom into Legacy, a source it will be imported to the Basic format. Gedcoms don't handle the SourceWriter format. Thanks for using Legacy.

What is the best way to handle the _APID when importing the ged from Ancestry.com into Legacy 7.4 Deluxe? A couple of years ago there used to be another problem tag, _EID if I remember correctly, for which I used Legacy's substitute tag _UID for the conversion. And it seemed to either solve the problem or at least remove it from sight. I tried using the same _UID as a substitute tag this time, but Legacy still created hundreds of notes for the unrecognized _APID. Thanks for a solution if there is one.
