Changing source template settings - update all records?

[N Merrick]

I have made some changes to the source template settings by adding a new field. Is there a way to force update all the sources that use that template or do I have to do it manually?

From REUION’S MANUAL:
Source Template Settings

Choose Reunion > Settings.
Click the Sources button.

This opens the Templates section of the Source Settings window which lists different source templates on the left side. When clicking a source template on the left, the right side of the window shows the fields that embody the selected source template. (The Free-Form Text field does not appear in the list of Fields — it is always included, in every source record.)

My take on this is as follows:
If you use Source Settings to change existing source(s), the changes made to the template will be included in the existing source. That said, any new fields will be BLANK until you modify each (every) new field by entering the desired information.

Are you saying you have added a new field to a source template and want it propagated to all sources using that template?

Are you saying you have added a new field to a source template and want it propagated to all sources using that template?

If that's the case, once you've added it to the template, you then have to open each source using that template, change to another template, and then change back to the one you want - that will add the new field(s) to the existing source, but you'll have to do that one at a time.

At least that's been my experience in the past when I'd done this.
