| Title | One touch copy and auto-citation |
| Category | Auto-citation |
| Description | I must do this exact sequence about a dozen times a week, and find it horribly error prone (put it down to my age). I find a new bit of information about some people on the tree (maybe a census, maybe an email from a contact) I add a citation (maybe a new source, maybe an existing one), then I press Copy
Citation,
Couldn't we have one "Copy and Auto cite..." button on the sources Tools/Set Automatic Paste Citation, Set Automatic. half of the properties? And perhaps an option of auto-citation to add it to amended items as well as new ones. (Note WL#388 merged into this one I would like to see an option in auto-citation to enable the adding of citations to any field that is edited whilst in auto-citation mode. Currently when auto-citation is turned on, it is possible to have citations added to all new fields as well as to new records. However there are many times when adding information from a source, that some of the information is already known but more details become available. For instance having got a date from one researcher, another provides the location. In the later case, auto-citation doesn't work on the event whose location is now known.) |
