Media files attached in AS

Please can someone help remind me how I get a media image to attach the created census fact entry rather than the source for that entry?
I know this used to be possible as all my previous research / census entries have the image attached to the fact, not the source.
How do I go about changing the settings to do this again (I have had a couple of years away)?
I do not want the source to have the image file and nor do I want AS to create a brand new source each time for each family, I would like to be able to pick a standard 1939 source, but can't remember how to do that either......
Thanks (note to self, do not take years away from research again in future)

Firstly, when migrating to Crossover you should have copied across your AS settings from the past.
If you can still access them then use the ancestralsources:ancestral_sources_migration_guide|> Ancestral Sources Migration Guide.

It sounds like you are employing Method 2 lumper Sources.
So in the AS Tools > Options > Census settings ensure Method 2 (data in citations) is selected.
Then in Census settings - method 2 select the required options for Images and Source Text and Templates.
