J. Thompson said: On a relationship page (couple or parent-child) or the new relationship flyout, I'd like to be able to attach any source already attached to any person in that relationship.

It's difficult to describe in writing, but here's what I envision:

RELATIONSHIP SOURCES
+ Add Source - o Attach from Source Box
o Attach from (Father's Name) [YYY-YYYY] - o Attach from (Mother's Name) [XXX-XXXX] - o Attach from (Child's Name) [YYY-XXXX]

When clicking the link to attach from a person, a drop-down box with checkboxes would appear listing all the sources for that person, similar to how we can tag a conclusion with any source already attached to that person.

I've created a 2-minute mockup of how it might look to illustrate.

    Please allow any source attached to a person to be tagged to any relationship that person is in.

    FYI

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    You are not alone ...

    Such is certainly not a new requested/suggested enhancement.

    The ability, to "Tag" the "Sources", to other than of just, "Name"; "Gender"; "Birth"; "Christening"; "Death"; and, "Burial"; especially, to the likes of, the "Relationship" Types of Both; "Couple"; and, "Parent-Child", has long been requested/suggested on, MANY; Many, many. occasions, over, MANY; Many; many, Years.

    As yet, to no avail.

    We have been advised on a number of occasions, by "Official 'FamilySearch' Representatives", that the ability, to "Tag" the "Sources", to the "Relationship" Types of Both; "Couple"; and, "Parent-Child", was in process, with a total revamp of "Relationship" Types; but, unfortunately, there have been many things, that have made this an ongoing revamp. Whereas, at least, some things, to do with "Relationship" Types, have come to fruition, many have not - it is just a matter of waiting.

    We can but live in hope.

    I know that this does not help; but, I hope that this gives you more, insight; and, perspective.
