Showing Sources in Diagrams

Hi there,

I've entered sources for various events such as births, deaths etc and these sources are linked to individuals.
I'm trying to show in a diagram the following fields;
Source Title
Source Type
Source ID
This is so they can be referenced from the diagram to a seperate report showing all the details of the sources.
How do I do this?
I've tried customising the templates, but can't get the diagram to show the source title, type etc for each event.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Help!!

One possible problem could be that there is a limit of 500 characters in a diagram and if you exceed that then any data after that point is not displayed.

Calico are aware of this and a fix is hoped for soon.

You should have a scheme something like

INDI.CENS[1].SOUR[1]>TITL
INDI.CENS[1].SOUR[1]>_TYPE
INDI.CENS[1].SOUR[1]>REFN[1]

What do you have. It is always much easier to help if people post what they have already tried.
