I’ve had not had enough opinion or excitment about Gramps capabilities with Citations to work on lapses in the wiki … or even explore them or the feature.
It feels like everything is a workaround. And there seem to be very few power tools to ease the workflow.
Some early docs were very … insistent… that every entry should have a source. That you weren’t doing Genealogy unless each data point was sourced. But if the early Gramps Developers felt that way then there would be some sort of Citation/Source guessing/painting feature like there is for Names or Event types. After all, when you’re doing data entry, you tend to be transcribing 1 source at a time. (Unless you’re flowing in a bibliography.) I felt VERY uncomfortable continuing that insistence in the wiki given the painful workflow. Yet it was disrepectful to remove it. So i just avoided working on the feature documentation altogether.
I had expected some sort of “caps lock” equivalent feature. Where Gramps would either pre-fill the New Object dialog when adding Citation (or a Source) or automatically share that Citation in other types of new secondary object dialogs.
There has been some discussion and a feature request for a Home Place feature to simplify rendering of Hierarchical place title displays. But it could be used as a “caps lock” for Place guessing too. So a Home Object metaphor could be extended into another secondary guessing for sharing. But that means (unlike Person) that there would need to be a way of releasing the “Home object” caps-lock on the Citation (or Source) and Place.
The sole place there’s a power tool for citations is the Import preference (which seems to be restricted to GEDCOMs). Unfortunately, both it and auto-tagging mangle the “last changed” timestamp embedded for each record in the GEDCOM.
