Thanks Cathy, I am watching the Source writer webinar at the moment, so will play with your method later this pm.
Normally I would add the source to everyone at the same time, when entering data, but I am doing a clean up at the moment, so re doing some old citations first, before I move over to the Source Writer from the Basic format.

Once the source is on the clipboard with the detail you want, you can apply it to whoever you want, whichever filed you want. I leave Prompt for Detail checked to make sure I'm applying the right detail and right Master source. But I don't have to refill it. I just use it. I consider the extra click worthwhile for accuracy. If I've used another source in between then I need to go to the Assigned Sources page for someone I did use that Master Source and Source Detail and copy that source with it's detail to the Source Clipboard again so I can use it again (see copy icon lower left). Alternatively, if I realise I will be using that Master Source AND the source detail again but want to use another source right now, I can Save both Master Source and Detail to the list of 10 quick access sources. However, I normally save clipboard without the detail to that list. When you've saved a Source there (and it doesn't matter if the Master Source is Basic or SourceWriter, you can load it onto the clipboard either using the Load button or right click on the Source Clipboard triangle and choose the one you need.
