I created two different document type, master and child.
Master has a tab named "content". Inside it there is a field called "field1".
Child has a tab named "content" as well. Inside it there are other fields, "field2", "field3", and so on.
As the names suggest, Master is the Master Document Type for Child.
When I create an instance of Child in the Content tree, I get a new item that shows two tabs, both named "content", in the first one I get "field1", in the other one I get the child's fields.
Is there a way to merge those two? I'd like my users to see just one "content" tab, and inside it both master's and child's fields.
I don't think there is a way to merge the two. They are defined separatly and are rendered separately on the document type. The tab "name" is just a text label and the selection of a tab (under the hood) uses primary keys. So even though they are both labeled "content", there is no connection under the hood.

Hello everybody,
I created two different document type, master and child.
Master has a tab named "content". Inside it there is a field called "field1".
Child has a tab named "content" as well. Inside it there are other fields, "field2", "field3", and so on.
As the names suggest, Master is the Master Document Type for Child.
When I create an instance of Child in the Content tree, I get a new item that shows two tabs, both named "content", in the first one I get "field1", in the other one I get the child's fields.
Is there a way to merge those two? I'd like my users to see just one "content" tab, and inside it both master's and child's fields.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Cheers,

As Chris points out correctly, there's no way to merge the two, but it would make a great feature...

Hi Chris and hi Dirk,
Thanks for your feedback.
@Dirk: Dirk, that was my point.... I believe it would make the system more intuitive and natural... I hope the Core Team agrees on the point...
Cheers,
Gianluca.
