Where did my sources go?

[tinksquared]

Yesterday I finished entering my information for my GG grandfather. I entered his military info into the Military Notes field, and at the bottom of that screen, I attached the 4 sources I have for his military.

This morning, the note remains, all 4 sources are gone. I selected the source in the side bar, right clicked it and chose "show usage of source" and it's not connected to anything.

???????

My noted appears as follows, with the source numbers still visible.

If you double click any of the purple numbers after the blocks of text to highlight the number, you should see the source listed at the bottom of the screen.

I do... but if I then right click that source number from the source list and select, show usage of source#, it says no citations found for that source, and yet it's clearly used in my notes field as a source.

It looks like you found a bug.

Source citations in notes fields that follow a comma are not being found by the "Show Usage of Source #" feature. I would guess that source #34 and #45 are being found since they are not followed by a comma.

This will be corrected in the Reunion 11.0.8 maintenance update.

Thanks for the details.

1 - Gregg's comment should be "#34 and #45 are being found since they don't follow a comma" (i.e. they are the first ones in the list)?

2 - in my file I can't duplicate this for a person who already had 2 sources attached to a note (from several/many Reunion versions ago). If I do show the usage of this source, the person was shown in the list for both sources (sources that were used for multiple people as it turns out).

But once I added another Source that was already in my file, and used only once previously - so it was now used twice, and the note now has 3 sources with 2 commas - doing source usage on the newly added one showed only the original usage and not the newly added usage.

And adding a 4th source that was not used anywhere already does reveal the message as described above that no citations to this source are found.

Good catch.

I meant to say "not following a comma" instead of "not followed by a comma".

Thanks Roger.

Thanks Roger.

I got what you meant
