I'm on-developing a project currently in v7.5.7 and I've just noticed since making a property change to one of our doctypes, properties from two compositions are getting mixed together instead of appearing one composition after the other.
I've attached a screenshot to show whats happening.
Annoyingly I cannot set the order now they're in the doctype.
I think you need to use another name for the tab. I think you are using Content tab for both body text composition and banner text composition document types.
For e.g.
On the body text composition document type, rename the tab as Body Content . Click on reorder and set the tab number as -100.
On the banner text composition document type, rename the tab as Banner Content . Click on reorder and set the tab number as -99.
In this way, Body Content tab will appear before Banner Content tab on the document inheriting them. The properties will not mix.
No in this example the composition properties need to be in the same tab it's how it was designed by the agency and has only screwed up since I added a new property within the doctype.
Initially they were displaying one composition after the other and somehow they're now mixed in together.
I'm thinking uSync has done it as we use that a lot. So i'll take a look the generated scripts.
I can confirm uSync got things a little mixed up, it had set the image Banner composition property order to 0 instead of 5. So it ended up getting arbitrarily inserted in between properties of the other composition in the same tab.
Once i'd set the order in the def.config for that doctype and re-imported, things went back to normal.
I love uSync, it's pretty essential these days...but every now and then it messes things up! :-(
Composition properties getting mixed in together
Hi all
I'm on-developing a project currently in v7.5.7 and I've just noticed since making a property change to one of our doctypes, properties from two compositions are getting mixed together instead of appearing one composition after the other.
I've attached a screenshot to show whats happening.
Annoyingly I cannot set the order now they're in the doctype.
Anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance Martin
