SourceTable.IsPrivate

I discovered that about 400 out of about 3000 of my SourceTable rows had SourceTable.IsPrivate = 1. The rest were all SourceTable.IsPrivate = 0.

SourceTable.IsPrivate is not a data element that I have ever messed around with in any way and it certainly seems like a data element that RM itself does not implement or support in any way. Nevertheless, it seemed bothersome that any of the rows had SourceTable.IsPrivate = 1. I set them all to SourceTable.IsPrivate = 0 just because that seemed like the right thing to do.

In my RM7 database, all instances of SourceTable.IsPrivate were zero.

In my RM8 database, all instances of Source.Table.IsPrivate were zero except for one.

In my RM9 database, all instances of Source.Table.IsPrivate were zero except for two.

It's one of those database elements that early on we all expected something to come of it but, decades later, nothing. I note that there is also an Is private column in the CitationLinkTable but not in the CitationTable. I think users would desire all three levels. Maybe, nothing has been done because it needs to be supported in so many outputs.

another example that comes to mind -- in the media table URL.  That could be used also.
