Hi, Sorry if I miscommunicated that question. What if there is a settign set on the COntent Class, like a list sort, referenced page, or pre-assigned keywords. If you push the content class out to the child project, does these settings get sent as well, or do you have to re-do that work in the child project?
Also, does the child project NEED to start as a copy of the master project? Thanks for your time!
