In DW8 the template to be used when the news item is shown is selected on the news item it self in the News module. This way you can select the template that fits the content of the news item.
In the newest version of DW9 the template for showing the news item is selected in the paragraph module settings.
This has two disadvantages:
- All news items will be shown with the same template regardless of the news content.
- When upgrading from DW8 you have to go through all News paragraph settings and select a news item template (should be possible to have a default template like default.html)
- If news items in the same list has different custom content it will not be shown properly since there is only one item template for one list
For combatibility when upgrading the DW8 funktion for selecting templates on each news item in the news module should be in DW9 also.
The option to select item template on the list settings could then overrule the template chosen on the item.
