1 TITL , [<Sc>address for private use</sc>], interview by , ; , privately held by Linda Thomas, [<sc>address for private use</sc>], Broadlands, VA 20148, .
but, based on seeing the footnote inside the program, I'd expect this:
1 TITL Angela Thomas, self, [address for private use], Baltimore, MD 21219, interview by Linda Thomas, 2009; transcribed directly into genealogy program, privately held by Linda Thomas, [address for private use], Broadlands, VA 20148, 2009.
I don't see a way to make it export in a useful way. I use the exported gedcom to update an online tree and the source ends up looking terribly wrong on the online version because the entire footnote isn't preserved.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a RM bug or limitation?
Thanks!

Because RM can export the footnote intact to FSFT, then I think it should be straightforward for it to be enhanced to export the footnote intact to the TITL tag, as an option for export.

@TomH: I'm probably doing something wrong, but all that happens for me is that the source detail fields are moved into the master source, but the filled in data is missing...? I'm using sqlite expert personal to user the following script. Should I use another script first??
-- SourceTemplateExtremeSplitConvert.sql /* 2013-06-18 Tom Holden ve3meo Converts all fields in the Source Template defined as Source Details or Citation Details to Master Source fields, thus enabling the template to be used for Extreme Spliting. WARNING - use this on unused templates; it does not convert existing citations and master sources. */ UPDATE SourceTemplateTable SET FieldDefs = CAST(REPLACE(CAST(FieldDefs AS TEXT), '<CitationField>True</CitationField>', '<CitationField>False</CitationField>') AS BLOB) WHERE 1;-- Apply constraints here, otherwise all Source Templates are modified. -- View FieldDefs SELECT CAST(FieldDefs AS TEXT) FROM SourceTemplateTable T;-- view results

That script is for conversion of UNUSED source templates to "ultimately split", as per the warning in the script. It does not convert the source citation itself.
If you are trying to convert existing lumpy sources, follow the procedure in the preceding section "Convert Existing Sources and Citations".
For further discussion to help you get through to your goal, please comment on the Wiki page.
