Hi,

I'm a new Umbraco user and loving it so far. I got a question about documenttypes. I have a "Master" documenttype and several child documentypes. Now i want to save time and work by putting content in the Master page and let the child inherit the content. Ok so far so good.

Now for example i want to set the html meta tag only in the Master page. I made a tab called Meta Data in the Masterpage and let the child inherit it. The problem is that for every child made i have to insert the content manually otherwise the content wont show.

For the title i made a macro and that works for every child page. Is there a way to set a tab only for the Master page for things like this?

Code Child:

<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="/masterpages/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="MasterPageContentPlaceHolder" runat="server">
   <!-- Insert "MasterPageContentPlaceHolder" markup here -->
  <umbraco:Item field="bodyText" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
</asp:Content>

Code MasterPage:

<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="/umbraco/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">
<html>
<head>
  <title><umbraco:Macro Alias="pageTitle" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro></title> 
  <meta name="description" content="<umbraco:Item field='metaDescription' runat='server'></umbraco:Item>" />
  <meta name="keywords" content="<umbraco:Item field='metaKeywords' runat='server'></umbraco:Item>" />
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" />
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Start of child template -->
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder runat="server" id="MasterPageContentPlaceHolder">
   <!-- End of child template -->
  </asp:ContentPlaceHolder> 
</body> 
</html>
</asp:Content>

set 'recursive' to true in umbraco:Item

e.g.
```
<umbraco:Item field='metaKeywords' runat='server'  recursive="true"></umbraco:Item>
```
