Fix the number of Source duplicates
It appears that in many cases the system continues to offer the same source document as a suggestion to add, or a user continually adds the same source suggestion. This has become a particular problem since the new screen view has been implemented. I'm fed up with spending a great deal of time deleting these duplicates which impact on reviewing listed Sources.

Can you post the ID number of an example that has the same source attached multiple times?

Oftentimes, especially with marriage records, the source appears the same but it slightly different, maybe a county vs a state record or at least part of a different indexed collection. I have some people with 10 or more marriage record sources for the same event. But some have different information, some list parents, some are a license, some are easier to read. I would love to be able to combine them on the source list so they"hide" rather than being long but I would not want to pick which collection is used. It is best to have every correct source attached to the correct people otherwise the source could be used to create duplicates of your people which can also be a problem. Too much is better than too little and if the sources are hinted they should be attached.
