In Legacy 8 I have just set Option 7.4 to Default of Off, as I had it in
Legacy 7.5, because it was really annoying me that the Detail Screen
kept popping up until I remembered that I could switch it off.

But it occurred to me that the prompt, when set to On, occurs too late.
  The sequence is:

1  Enter Source Details.
2  Copy Source to Clipboard.
3  Paste Source Clipboard.
4  The Source Detail screen appears with a ticked checkbox for Prompt
for detail.

If you don't want to set the default of Off, but want to be able to
choose sometimes to be prompted, you want to be prompted at the time of
Copying to the Clipboard.  If you could choose at that point, you could
UNtick the box then happily roam around your family file going Paste,
Paste, Paste without interruption.

Very often I am only going to paste that Source once so presenting me
with the Source Detail when I've already Pasted and then saying "do you
want to be prompted for this?" is just silly!
