Several years ago Geoff Rasmussen told me he puts these details in BOTH the Source Text AND in the Event Notes field (not sure if he still does this). Then, depending on what he wants, he can exclude the one he doesn't want based on report options (I think the Event Notes would need to be in privacy brackets to accomplish this). That possibility had never occurred to me. Just thought I would share this idea.
