    Copy properties from tab to tab

    As the subject already indicates: I have created multiple tabs under a certain DocType. Inside these tabs I need to use the same fields again and again. At this point I just have to create all these properties over again under the right tabs. Is there a (simple) way to just copy all content from tab 1 to tab 2?

    DocTypeMixins could be your friend:

    http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/doctypemixins

    Create a Mixin (doctype) with those tabs/properties, then assign it to the new doctypes, voila!

    You could create a Mixin foreach tab, that way you can apply the tab and its properties to each doctype as/if needed.

    Hi Drew,

     

    Thanks for your advice, but I've already tried DocTypeMixins ;-)
    This is not what I need, since it's just enabling me to copy the properties (or tabs) from one DocType to another.
    What I would like to know is how I can copy certain FIELDS from one TAB to another, including an option to choose a unique alias, off course.

    But thanks anyway!

    I see, I don't think there's a package for that - although it could be quite handy.

    It could be knocked up as package though - by adding a simple icon/option, then programattically copying the field across to another tab.
    (the doctypemixins source could be handy for an example of modtifiyng tag values: https://bitbucket.org/mattbrailsford/doctypemixins/src)

     

    Cheers,

    Hi Drew,

    A little late, but I just had to copy everything by hand since I'm not this educated that I could 'programmatically copy the field across to another tab' ;-)

    Still, thanks for your assistence!
