Denise,
The source text in all sources Basic and SourceWriter are allowed to
contain 1,000,000 characters. You may be confusing the "Source text"
with the Source detail field which is limited to 255 Characters or the
Publication Facts field which is limited to 248 characters. Long
citations copied from FamilySearch into those shorter fields may not fit
but any citation should fit in the Citation Text.
You can see the limits of the fields in Legacy in the Help file. Open
help and look for capacities.

Gene,
Do you use Source Writer or the Basic Source tool?

If you use the Basic Source tool, you can cut and paste a source and
citation created by an individual online service. FamilySearch already
has such pre-written source – citations for each document found,
although most source – citations are longer than Legacy will allow in
the Source Detail text box. None of the other services (MyHeritage,
FindMyPast, or GenealogyBank) offer pre-written source - citations for
their found data.

Carrie,
Yes, I'm well aware of that. I just thought it would be nice if, along
with the hint content, Legacy might provide the appropriate citation.
Probably asking for too much.
