I have many Freeform sources created in prior versions of RM that I would like to convert to templated sources. Is there a good way to do that? All sources were created using the same format.
It might be possible using SQLite or a higher level language on top of it, provided there is a rigorously consistent structure in your Footnote and Page fields that can be parsed into the template fields.

This may not serve your need - but I have discovered that if I manually create a new templated source, I can then merge my freeform source into the templated source. It does require me creating each source anew, but all the citations then move. The way my layered sources imported from my old program (Genbox), I have a few hundred of these to do - but MUCH better than trying to move the citations one-by-one.
