Display problems with fieldgroup

[Jebyl]

Say you have 2 fields:

Aspect Ratio Sound Mix

Both are usable in fieldgroups.

Then you have 2 document types:

Film with Aspect Ratio field (stand-alone) and Sound Mix field (stand-alone) DVD with fieldgroup "Video Tracks" with "Aspect Ratio" in it and fieldgroup "Audio Tracks" with Sound Mix in it.

When both document types use the same template, you'd want the fields only to appear either with DVD in the fieldgroups or with Film as stand-alone fields, right?

Problem is, when you set these fields to Film and DVD they all show up (so both the fieldgroups and the standalone fields). I tried removing DVD from the standalone fields and only having the fieldgroups keep the DVD type, but that means that those fields are shown but can not be saved. Can this be fixed?

You say: When both document types use the same template

why use the same template for 2 different content types ?

[Jebyl]

I have a default template for most content types. It consists of an image on the top with details next to it and underneath in the tabs it has all the information (altough I change the Tab names in the configuration of the template per document type). It should be possible to have the same template for multiple document types, no?

I've also noticed that when you use a groupable field multiple times it inherits the data from the other groupfields. For example:

I put in fieldgroup "Audio Tracks": English as language Dolby Digital as format 5.1 as Channels

Automatically "Subtitles", that also uses the language field, will show: English as language

When I haven't even added any data to that fieldgroup?

about inheriting data, i am not sure that i understand you,

please open a new forum thread in our forum, we can discuss this there

[ggppdk]

Are you using the same field in 2 field groups ?

Ok this was resolved in forum, a field is not allowed to be used in 2 field groups closing this, if the above is not the case, then please post back with details
