Hi!

I searched, but didn't find any similar suggestion, if it is there pls excuse me.


It would be great to be able to link sources to all entities in "other information". For example: in most cases occupation is found in church records, it would be nice to make that source visible.

    This is one of the improvements with the new Detail page.

    On the current Details page, look in the upper right hand area for the link "Go To New Person Page."

    On this new page you will see that all items under Other Information now has a Sources counter. Clicking anywhere it turns grey when you hover over a piece of data opens the new View Data pop up. There you can see all the sources currently attached to a source and also add more tags by clicking on Tag Sources.

    You can also do this by clicking on the pencil icon to open the Edit pop up.

    These new pages are still under development and can be a little buggy. In my browser, sometimes the Tag Sources button doesn't show up until you move your mouse pointer over it.

    This is really nice for census data when entered as an Event since you can tag the census source to the event.
