Hey Geoff, thanks for the response. This does help my understanding. But changing the container's label attribute doesn't seem to change anything. Are there any records in the db that I could delete to force it to read those containers again?
Basically I have several news articles that were created, originally with the standard content template. I then created a new template, with the default Mirrors I wanted in the containers. I changed the template in the news object, approved it, but the containers are not showing their default. I am just working with one news item now, but have several that should use the same template with the same defaults. And the same defaults should be used when a new news item is created also. Let me know if you have any suggestions here... I chose the ID over the label since I am hard-coding it into a template, it seemed the ID was less likely to change than the label, which is a CMS user-editable value.
