Ron: I reread her email and I agree, it will change all 200 sourced people. If you had a souce assigned to just 80 people, then you can just edit the Source and it will correct all of the sourcing to those 80 people.
I do not see anyway in the Advanced Tagging that will allow you to change this easily. If you tag the 80 people and then create a list of the Tagged people, you can assign and/or delete a source to any of the fields under the Source Tab in the Search list. this would mean you would have to work you way thru the 80 people one at a time, but once you have them tagged and in the Search screen, it is easy and quick to copy a source to a specific field or event for each person.
