Add fields to all page types

Hi,

If you haven't created the page types yet you could use the Inherit fields from page type feature:

and select some sort of 'Base type'.

Greets,

David

The best way to do this is to create a "parent" page type with the fields you want replicated across all the other page types. Then in each of the child page types set the Inherits fields from page type field to the parent page type you just created. This should accomplish what you're looking for.

Hi both,

Thanks for your responses

Unfortunately this is to go onto a site already in production, all the page types already exist with many nodes utilizing them already, so as David said, I'm not sure that solution would work for us.

Similarly from an on going maintenance perspective, is there no form of import/export feature? Say I had created the fields from a base type, but I then wanted to add a single additional field at a later date? Is there anyway I could add it to the base, and it be distributed across all the types that inherited from it when they were created?

Thanks again for your time,
Jack

Hi Brenden,

Thanks again for your prompt response, I will give the below a go and let you know how it goes.

You can make this change to inherit fields from a parent type on the fly after the page type is already created.

Thanks again,
Jack

Hi Brenden,

That looks to be perfect thank you :)
