Problem when trying to copy and edit a source - source title will does not change

I entered a passport application source for Eliz. Brooks, and one was created for her husband (see top two sources below). A business acquaintance of her husband's, R.H. Adams, had signed an affidavit in the application about their relationship, so I wanted to create a source for him. When I go to the Source Box, highlight the source and make a copy, then change the title for R.H. Adams (image 2), a copy of the source is made, but the title reverts to the original (image 3). I tried attaching the source and changing the title in the source list of R.H. Adams profile, but the title refuses to change (image 4). 😖

    I tried this out and it worked just fine. I copied the source to my source box, changed the name to Test Copy, and attached it to me:

    Try it again. It may have been a temporary system hiccup.

    Thank you, Gordon. I was able to change the source title this morning and the change did take (see source #3). This has happened to me a couple of times before. I guess I need to give it some time and try again.

    Thanks again!
