Keep the output property settings between publication versions in Tridion (TD13)

Peter Stromback

Hello,

I can't remember if I raised this topic before, but I didn't find anything in the archive.

When my writers create pdf output formats in the Output tab in Tridion, they apply various properties we have designed, for example there are checkboxes for web pdf (no blank pages), logo, hyphenation on or off.

Anytime they create a new publication version, the selected properties are reset to a default. So they have to in manually change the properties that doesn't correspond to the default we have set.

So the question: Is it in any way possible to keep the applied output property settings from the previous publication version when creating a new publication version?

I promised to ask ;-).

Have a good day everyone

Peter

    Shooting from the hip here, end of my working day :-)

    I think you can already do this in metadataconfig.xml, so the first thing I would try is experiment near

    [...]
    <ishfrmgroup id="PublicationOutput.WorkflowGroup">
    <label resourceref="PublicationOutput.WorkflowGroup.Label">Publishing Status</label>
    <ishfrmfield name="PublicationOutput.StatusField" ishfieldref="FISHPUBSTATUS" level="lng">
    <label resourceref="FISHPUBSTATUS.Label">Status</label>
    <description resourceref="FISHPUBSTATUS.Description">Current output status.</description>
    <typelabel />
    <readonly />
    <value overwrite="yes" ishcondition="ChangeMode in ('Create')">To Be Published</value>
    </ishfrmfield>
    ...
    [...]

    So in the above sample, upon "Create", the status field is set to "To Be Published" and not "Release Candidate" (or so)... so can you share the configuration of the field that doesn't do what you want :-)
