Kristin, You really are an extreme lumper if you put all online databases under the one Master Source. Why not do yourself a favour and become less of a lumper so you don't have to use the Source Citation Override for almost every source you add.
You'd find you'd add sources far faster ;-) You must have to find and enter the information for every particular database you use again every time you enter a source - or do you only use online databases that have the source citation nicely formatted for you like FamilySearch that you can copy and paste? In which case you're missing out on heaps of data?
