FH 6.2 - Internet Data Matches

The following seems to be (part of) the current Help page for Internet Data Matches/Matching:

Paragraph 2 in respect of FMP records is now incorrect as it is not possible to Confirm/Accept or Reject a match if you don't have an FMP subscription covering the referenced data set (or you have no FMP subscription).

The Tip is misleading for the reasons discussed elsewhere on this forum as most of the FMP data is not presented in a form useful for dragging and dropping or copying and pasting into the Property Box.

Clicking on the blue link also provides confusing help:

The suggestion is that text can be pasted or dragged to the Source field and then that a source record can be selected. However, the second action will over-write the first.

There seem to be two options: (1) use an existing source record or (2) create a new one. An existing source can be selected using the drop-down menu and a new one can be created either by typing in the required text or (perhaps less usefully) by dragging and dropping or copying and pasting text to the source field.
