It is most useful when first entering an individual. Often the same source has birth, death, etc. - the vital events. Enter the events, vital or otherwise that have that same source. Then you can use the triple bars and the source will be entered for all at once.
Later use is more problematic because some of the other events may not have the same source. Many of us really miss the ability to have the Source Clipboard contain multiple sources. Before Legacy removed that convenience, you were able to have multiple sources on one clipboard and enter them all at once - to one event or all. That was a enormous time-saver when you have several sources for one event but not all events.

There are way to many of little gotchas like this that I cannot believe the software gets a 5-star rating on review sites. Sure it's a nice app, I can almost go along with the best available (I've not tried them all), but I can only give it a 5-stat once I know all the little hacks one must to do actually use it effectively. It is maddening. Anyway, Ron, If it is one of your most used features, how are you using it? Do you actually blurt a source to all events. How does adding a death certificate say to a residence event work?
