Hi all,

In any attributes you add citations and notes and you can add these attributes to clipboard… unless for sources and citations attributes.

3 questions about Sources & Citations Attributes:

Q1: Why Sources & Citations Attributes doesn’t have the same fields (citations and notes) like every other attributes elsewhere? What do they have special?

Q2: Why these attributes can’t be shared with any clipboards (regular or collections clipboards)? Even in Source or Citation View?

Q3: It’s more a request than a question: Is it possible to have an attribute filter in Citation and Sources Views?

(Edited to (I hope) clarify this topic)

It looks like it was implemented as part of version 5.2. See issue [9845](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=9845).
