Page type fields which inherit content from parent

Page types can inherit other page types. You can also set your page templates to inherit one another. It's not the same exact functionality as the metadata tab but close if you know how to configure either of those.

Yes, I understand about page types and page templates and their approach to inheritance. I was specifically looking for a form field that inherits content if the same field is present in the parent page, with option to overwrite. I guess the answer is no! Thanks for your time as always.

Ah, very interesting idea. Thank you Charles, I will take that approach.

@Nat, what I do is write some pretty complex macro's to determine meta data that get their default data from the Parent or from other pages in the path. Then I overwrite when necessary. Also another thing that I do is that to the "Page" Document Type I added field called Page Header H1, in which I default the Brand and then document name for instances

Company {% DocumentName %}

That way all my H1's are uniform with proper branding, I have seen a significant uptick in SEO.

To further explain, in my master page I have a static text web part and I resolve the Text to

{% if (CurrentDocument.PageHeaderH1 != null) {CurrentDocument.PageHeaderH1} else {CurrentDocument.DocumentName} |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}
