Adding media to sources vs facts

Good idea, thanks Tom.

To expedite the process you could add new fields to the Master Source leaving the Citation fields in place. Then visit each citation and cut_paste the values from the Citation fields to the Master Source fields. Once all values have been transferred, delete the citation fields from the template.

Note that the citation name is not updated for existing citations when fields in the source template are changed (or deleted) from being flagged as citation fields. Only by deleting all the existing contents of the citation name will the citation name be refreshed (though in the case suggested, I assume it would be refreshed as empty). Alternatively add your own citation name in that field if you have a use for it.

It is not clear to me whether you care about the citation name when you move all data to the master source, but it may be worth some experimentation to see what happens in your particular case.
