Hi there,

In Rapido, the Area item type had a Custom field that allowed me to easily add site-specific settings to a site.

What's the alternative for that in Swift? I have a solution with 20+ sites where I need to store settings that are unique for each site. I want to make sure I make changes to item types that don't break when updating Swift in the future.

Thanks!

Imar

Right click the item type in settings an choose "Customize" - will make a copy of the settings, and then you just go ahead.

Or just change the item type and merge when you get new versions.

Oh, nice. I had used the Customize option for other types like the Cart app but didn't realize I could also use it for the site item. Makes perfect sense.

Thanks!

How does "Customize" work?
I can't find anything about it in the documentation.

Thanks :)

Not sure it is documented yet.

But simply right click and choose customize - that will make a copy of the item type and replace its use.

Dear Nicolai,

Does this "Customize" feature also exists in DW10, because we have had a hard time find the menu item?

Best regards, Anders

Yup:

And from the list of item types:

Dear Nicolai,

Thanks for quick reply. It turns out that we were trying to figure it out for a row item, which does not seem to be possible. Can you please elaborate a bit on why that is not possible?

Best regards, Anders
