I use Google Chrome browser with Windows 10, if that has any effect.

    I wonder if this is related to the problem I recently noticed on the WikiTree/FamilySearch connection app, where adding the reciprocal link in a person's sources on FS doesn't ever look like it's finished, but if you go look, the linking source is there.

    Something about the source-attachment process has gone wonky, so that the signal of "done" never gets through.

    True, the clip appears when I refresh the page, or when I go back to the person then return to the source box from their page.

    FYI

    You are not alone.

    This was also brought up in a recent post of some 14 Days ago.

    Source attachment screen does NOT update its attached status with paperclip after attachment is made
    https://getsatisfaction.com/familysea...

    'Yes', like yourself, Justin, and, many who use the "Source Box", I too noticed this some time ago; but, considering all the other problems/issues in "Family Tree"; and, the fact that there has been NO implementation of the many suggested enhancements to the "Source Box", that have been requested over the Years, I could NOT be bothered to raise the matter.

    It certainly is disconcerting when you are adding Four (x4) of more "Sources", in a row, relating to a "Marriage" Event; and, you are not certain if they were in fact attached; or, you actually did miss attaching one of those "Sources" - I like to add certain "Sources" in a particular order.

    Now, because of this newly occurring fault/flaw, after I add (or, at least, think I have added) the Four (x4) of more "Sources", like 'Juli', 'Justin' and you are aware, I "Refresh" the "Source Box" to ensure that the "Paper Clip" appears [but, it can take time to reload; as, I have 21,456 "Sources" (I would love to know how many pages/screen that is - like in this Forum) in my "Source Box"].

    It certainly would be nice if just SOME of the many suggested enhancements (eg. prime example, one of the most requested, a "Search" facility/function/feature in the "Source Box") were implemented in the "Source Box".
