When I edit a vital, it would be nice to be able to highlight and copy the short info that pops up under the sources so I don't have to fully type it out. I'm not sure why the text is not able to be highlighted in the first place...

    I agree with this suggestion. It would certainly make adding information less cumbersome. This is not the only place where that would be useful. Another example is in genealogies. if you go to an individual record found in a search of genealogies on the right hand side you will find information including an ID number. There is no ability to copy paste that ID number so you can determine if the record is in Family Tree. This is frequently useful for IGI records that have been incorrectly merged. Finding the location in Family Tree can most easily be done using the ID number. It would be very nice if you could copy. I can find it in the URL but not the easiest to copy.

    I also agree with this comment, but also wonder if there could be an arrow or plus sign to use that specific data similar to the ability to update in the mobile app.
