Set "EnableAncestorFallback" and "DefaultFieldFallback" field to shared #7

Hi,

today we figured out an issue with the fallback configuration. On each field we can enable the ancestor fallback and the default fieldback with the fields EnableAncestorFallback and DefaultFieldFallback, which are defined on the /sitecore/templates/System/Templates/Template field. These fields are not shared, which means that we need to create all the template fields in all languages to enable the fallback for each language.

Is there a reason that these fields are not shared? In my opinion these should be shared, because a fallback is either enabled or not. The cache which stores if the fallback is enabled for a field is also language independent, which results in unexpected behaviors (you need to first hit the item in the Content Editor, then it works).

If there is no reason, can you please make this field shared in a future release?

This is something that was done by design. In original projects where we used this we did want to do things differently for different languages.

Ok make sense. Is it then maybe an option to add a comment to this in the wiki or installation/configuration documentation? :)

Wiki has been updated with this information on the Ancestor and Default configuration sections.
