I don't completely understand your point. I have a family history and am entering date for several DIFFERENT fields for DIFFERENT individuals, some of whom already exists in my database, some of whom already have the same fields filled in from previous sources and some don't. It makes no sense to enter the data to accommodate the tool, nor to tag the individuals several different times and several different ways to accommodate the tool, when a simpler solution is just as I have been suggesting -- add a choice to add new source to only fields that are filled in and not already sourced. It makes more sense for the tool to accommodate the user's needs.
If we are failing to communicate, please supply an example of what you are trying to illustrate. Thank you.
