Replace profile information with record information

Rachael Rich Mathias said: When attaching records, a record often has more accurate information than is currently listed with an individual. However, there is no option to replace information from an individual with more accurate information from the record without clicking out, opening the person, and then trying to remember the information to add it in to the individual's profile. Could you please make an option for us to click and add information from a record in order to replace present information?

There are rumors that this might change if a system can be developed which allows you to see all the sources, reason statements, and other information on the profile that you need to see to decide if the information in the record is actually better or not.
