I have a master doctype with the following fields (plus the other meta stuff):
pageTitle
mainHeader
subHeader
Now, I have a child doctype (lets call it childDoctype1) which only requires:
pageTitle
subHeader
and another called childDoctype2 which requires all three - no problems, all three are inherited! However, for childDoctype1, is there a way of 'unselecting' the mainHeader property (is it a property, or attribute - confused with the jargon still?!). Rather than making a new doctype just because one field should be absent.
Otherwise, when creating a page using childDoctype1, there will be a field 'mainHeader' that is not required and will just sit there empty.
There is no way to deselect an inhertied property as far as I know.
If you know you need pageTitle and subHeader on all your document types, those are qualified to be set on a master document type. Then you should just add the mainHeader to the document type that needs it. That's how to do it :-)
Choosing which doctype fields are inherited
Hi everyone,
I have a master doctype with the following fields (plus the other meta stuff):
pageTitle
mainHeader
subHeader
Now, I have a child doctype (lets call it childDoctype1) which only requires:
pageTitle
subHeader
and another called childDoctype2 which requires all three - no problems, all three are inherited! However, for childDoctype1, is there a way of 'unselecting' the mainHeader property (is it a property, or attribute - confused with the jargon still?!). Rather than making a new doctype just because one field should be absent.
Otherwise, when creating a page using childDoctype1, there will be a field 'mainHeader' that is not required and will just sit there empty.
As always, any help is very much appreciated! :)

Hi Sam
There is no way to deselect an inhertied property as far as I know.

I hope it makes sense.
