Hi,

You can't do it in config, but you could feasibly do that in code.

if you wrote your own ContentHandler and ContentSerializer that inherit from the existing contentHandler and contentSerializer then you would only have to override the derserializeProperties method in the serializer to stop the properties from being saved into the content.

Then you could alter the uSync8.config file to use your own custom content handler and it would not sync the properties.

• Existing Handler https://github.com/KevinJump/uSync8/blob/v8/8.7-main/uSync8.ContentEdition/Handlers/ContentHandler.cs

• Existing Serializer: https://github.com/KevinJump/uSync8/blob/v8/8.7-main/uSync8.ContentEdition/Serializers/ContentSerializer.cs

update: So your inhertited versions would be almost empty classes with constructors and the serializer would have a DeserializeProperties method that returned an empty list.

So i think this would do it:

override protected Attempt<List<uSyncChange>, string> DeserializeProperties(TObject item, XElement node, SyncSerializerOptions options)
{
   return Attempt.Succeed(Enumerable.Empty<uSyncChange>());
}

Her is an example :

 [SyncSerializer("EBCD359D-295C-4B8B-B5CF-D44690DC5FB1", "CustomContentTypeSerlializer", uSyncConstants.Serialization.ContentType)]
      public class CustomContentTypeSerlializer : ContentTypeSerializer
      {
        private readonly IContentTypeService contentTypeService;
        private readonly IFileService fileService;

        public CustomContentTypeSerlializer(
            IEntityService entityService, ILogger logger,
            IDataTypeService dataTypeService,
            IContentTypeService contentTypeService,
            IFileService fileService)
            : base(entityService, logger, dataTypeService, contentTypeService, fileService)
        {
          this.contentTypeService = contentTypeService;
          this.fileService = fileService;
        }
    }


      [SyncHandler("uSync8CustomContentTypeHandler", "DocTypes", "ContentTypes", uSyncBackOfficeConstants.Priorites.ContentTypes,
               IsTwoPass = true, Icon = "icon-item-arrangement", EntityType = UdiEntityType.DocumentType)]
      public class uSync8CustomContentTypeHandler : ContentTypeHandler
      {
        private readonly IContentTypeService contentTypeService;

        public uSync8CustomContentTypeHandler(
            IContentTypeService contentTypeService,
            IEntityService entityService,
            IProfilingLogger logger,
            AppCaches appCaches,
            CustomContentTypeSerlializer serializer,
            ISyncItemFactory syncItemFactory,
            SyncFileService syncFileService)
            : base(contentTypeService, entityService, logger, appCaches, serializer, syncItemFactory, syncFileService)
        {
          this.contentTypeService = contentTypeService;
        }
      }
    }

    public class uSync8IocComposer : IUserComposer
      {

        public void Compose(Composition composition)
        {
          composition.Register<CustomContentTypeSerlializer>();

        }
      }

is working on a reply...
