Hi, Cheryl, Legacy is designed with both a Master Source and Source Detail. Think of the Master Source as a book, and the Source Detail as a page in that book.
While it is possible to set up a Master Source to be just one person's death certificate, I don't "split" sources to that extreme. Instead, I have a Master Source for Missouri Death Certificates, another for Washington State Death Certificates, etc. Then, I only have to change the Source Detail (the person, date, etc.), like I would enter a different page in a book. If you set up each person's death certificate as a Master Source, you will still be prompted for a Source Detail, although all you need to do is click on Save. That's just the way the program works. My guess is you didn't realize/remember it was a 2-step process when you set up your first use of that source.

I thought I understood the Master Source would add that citation to each fact I chose. So why did I have to enter the certificate number and year [and some other things I ignored] each time?
