Custom Vars not appearing in Duplicate Products

[rookers]

Hi there
I have just noticed something wierd that I'm sure didn't happen before. On a product, I have several CUSTOMVARS setup in the Properties Tab. When I edit these, I can see that I have done that when I look at the Duplicate product, but when I view the duplicate products page in IE, the changes to the customvars do not happen. The only way I can get the changes to take effect if by deleting the duplicate and then re-copy & pasting it.

ANy ideas ?

What version are you using?

This is fixed in 7.0.5 onwards, I believe.

See http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=17458

Update: 7.0.6 has an option in Advanced / Custom Properties, that allows you to decide if the Duiplicates use the parent custom properties, or independent editable ones.

Hi there

I am on 7.5.1.0.0.0.0.FLHA

Whats the verdict?

[NormanRouxel]

That's Multi-User Actinic. I've a feeling that it isn't based on the very latest release.

I've a copy of 7.5.1 here and Advanced / Custom Properties doesn't have the 7.0.6 checkbox for choosing whether you have independent or slave duplicates.

You may need to ask Actinic to see how 7.5.1 matches 7.0.x for features.

Can Actinic comment on this please ?

Hi there

None of the 7.0.6 enhancements were added into 7.5 Multi-User - at the time they were being developed as two different products - so you will not have this tick box in Multi-User.

If this is a major problem, give Mark Rice a call in Actinic Sales on 0845 129 4800 and he can see whether there is anything that can be done.
