Sourcing
When I first started using the CET, I could find sources in FamilySearch that were attached to the regular Tree and it would still allow me to attach them to the same people in my CET. Now it just shows that the record is already attached to a Family Tree profile and the only way I can attach is either to detach it from the Tree profile, which I don't want to do, or find the image when available and use the URL for it as the source in the CET. Can we get the CET back to letting us double-attach sources?

@N Tychonievich Thank you for testing early access CET and offering feedback. User feedback is the most valuable information we can give to the engineering team. Are you using SourceLinker? This feature should be functional. Will you exit FS completely and then log back in and if it is still returning error messages, please attach screenshots showing the exact error messages that you are receiving? Thank you

Yes, using Source Linker. But, if the record is already attached as a source in the regular tree, I see the triangle showing that it is already attached as a source and the only way I could proceed would be to detach it. I'll grab a screen shot next time I'm in CET.
I tend to have both versions of the Tree open at the same time so I can look at sources attached to each and grab URLs to use in the other. Could that be a factor?

I believe I have solved the problem. If I use different browsers for the two versions of the tree I can have both open and attach sources. It seems to scramble the system's "brains" if I have them open in different tabs of the same browser.

@N Tychonievich yes, this is a known bug. If you want 2 types of trees open at the same time, you must use different browsers.

@N Tychonievich will you please attach a screenshot of the error occurring to allow the engineers to follow this issue?

@mynameistk Sorry, I forgot to do it. It is only an issue if I'm working within a separate tab in the same browser. Don't know how well you can see it, but it is showing already attached to the profile in Family Tree and so I can't attach to the profile in my CET.

@N Tychonievich Thank you very much. I have passed this information on to our Engineering Team.

I am not yet prepared to test this issue myself, but would like to know if the problem is also resolved by simultaneously launching a different "profile" that is set up within the same browser software, rather than use two different browser programs.
With different profiles in Chrome I can be logged in at the same time to both my LDS-member account as well as a non-member FS account I created (to compare differences).
