Sources, Text From Source

Post by Gary Carson » 25 Mar 2018 19:12

I would like to retrieve in a query all instances of Text from Note for all uses of that Source.

For example I have a source "Obituary" that has been cited 4000 times and I want to look at the text, if present, in the Text from Note field for each citation and I want to know which Individual was cited. Can that be done?

Have you tried just running the List all Citations for a Source plugin?

You could simply add another column to the output for that one if it does not already include the field you are looking for.

I presume you are taking about the Text From Source field in the Citation.

You cannot easily obtain that information by using a Query but there are Plugins that give the required Result Set.

The Where Used Record Links Plugin lists all the Citation fields, including Text From Source, and identifies not just the Individual record but also the Fact that invokes the Citation.
