Is it possible to use the tabs defined in a "Master Document Type" when defining properties on a "Derived Document Type"?
I would like to define a table called content on my Master document type. This would have basic attributes such as Page Title, and Short Description.
Then, I would like to add to this tab in the derived document type. For example, I could have a documenttype called news that would add a "Release Date" and "Author" properties.
I would like these new properties to appear on the same tab as the Page Title and Short Description (defined in the master document type) for content editors.
One thing I only just realised is that you can at least modify the order of the tabs, i.e. you can move the Master tabs to the right by giving them a higher sort order than the child tabs.

Hi,
Unfortunately this is not possible. It would be a nice feature to have.

There is an issue created on codeplex for this, I have already voted :)

I agree, this would be a definitely plus!

I will also vote for this :)
