Tried Ira's 'little secret'. Not ALL marked individuals will have that source note added, only those who do not have a source note already. It would work generally only if a) a source could be added to another source - which generally I would like to have if want to combine several sources b) a second source field would be available - a feature already asked for several times in this list.
