Wouldn´t this be a nice feature? I´ts probably possible to do with ineheritance, but it´s not possible to do with "stand-alone" items as far as I know?

It would be rocking fucking awesome. But it is just a computer, and it would not be able to find out how to do it.... It can do it with inheritance. Or you can add 2 publishers on the same page.

How would you ever publish these 2 items in the same list:

Person

  • Firstname
  • Lastname

Truck

  • Wheelsize
  • Fueltype

LOL :)

I was thinking using logic statements, and using it for already created and heavy populated items - to get them all in one and same list/flow, sorted by creation date

But I take it from your sarcasm that you don´t think it´s a good idea :))))

Hi Hans

I think it is a good idea. I just can't think of a good way of doing it...

We could list items in its base form (Name, Created date, type, system name, etc) and then it will be those information that you loop. But you would have to do conditionals in the loop to render a person different than a truck? Is that what you mean?

Yes, that would be a good posibility to have :)

of course, in new development - we would use inheritage, but for  older solution with heavily populated items, it would be a nice posibility to have for modifying.
