Parentage and Fields

Post by ahhq »

Is there a way to get a child to inherit fields from its parent? I'd like to be able to reference the parent's description, so that I don't have to copy-and-paste information.

It would be nice if I could use a tag/variable like $parent_notes or $parent_description, to include the information.

There is no such functionality out of the box.
You would have to write a plugin to get what you want.
Please use Search before posting and read the Manual

Okay, good to know. I might take a shot at it because I think it could be a useful feature.
