Single event for multiple people

[Steve Salmon]

Just started reusing Reunion after building trees in Ancestry and FMP. So I have a lot of paper records to record.
One process I am finding time consuming and prone to errors (retyping with fat fingers!) is recording Census data.

I record Census information as an Event for an individual. As an example:-
The family has two parents and eight children. Currently I add the census event 10 times. Once for each individual.
Is there a way of recording the event for a group of Marked people?

Am I missing a trick here?

In this situation my method is to attach the Census Event with Source to one individual, highlight then Command+C to copy and move to the next individual for a Command+V. Not what you were asking for but at least enter once and paste multiple times.

And don't forget Command+R to repeat the last used source.

Thanks David. I like simple solutions.

If you attach the source, then Save that person, then reopen the person, when you copy the event the Source comes along with the copied event.

Thanks, Roger, I thought that might be the case after I posted (when I was at work), but as I have never copied the exact same event to another person, I wasn't sure. I'll keep that in my back pocket in case I ever need it.
