You say "I have put the request in to the developers, but the only response I am getting is that they think I should already be able to do it. "
In which case one would have thought they would have told you how.

Right now, advanced sourcing can be done for other individual attributes and note fields. Quite a variety. It can even be done for events. But when "Events" is selected, it attaches the source citation/detail on the clipboard to all of the events currently attached to each selected individual/marriage, which I'm not sure why anyone would ever want to do that. It just seems like Millenia was on their way to doing it, but then just didn't finish the development before releasing the advanced sourcing capability. And then they just never got back to it. I have put the request in to the developers, but the only response I am getting is that they think I should already be able to do it. I notice the developers occassionally respond to messages on the user group, so I'm just putting it out there to the entire group. If this cannot be done and is not planned, does anyone have any ideas on how to have fewer clicks and windows to go through to attach the source clipboard to an event attached to mulitple individuals (or even the event clipboard). Currently, we have to click around to all of the individuals and paste the source individually to events or paste the events individually. This is a very time consuming process. Family Tree Maker 2012 has the ability to attach source citations to selected events from the equivalent of their advanced sourcing window. Roots Masic 5 has the ability to share an event (with attached source citations with multiple individuals from a single window. It just seems like everyone else is making this easier.
