Need help with hierarchy document templates

Hi,

I need some help with hierarchy document templates.
I created a document template and saved this to "my templates".
Then I just opened a document based on this first template and saved this
document as template to "my templates" to get the hierarchy.
Next I changed the address in my first template und saved, after edit the
second template I confirmed the update by my first template but nothing
changed in my inherited template.

What did I wrong?
Can anyone provide some help?

regards,
Sven

I fear you may need some other product!

Surely all you have here is two identical (unrelated) templates?

Next I changed the address in my first template and saved, after edit the second template I confirmed the update by my first template but nothing changed in my inherited template. What did I wrong?

I think all you did wrong is to imagine that templates derived from templates exist in a hierarchy. Unless I'm mistaken (always a possibility!) I think that templates exist only to create a particular starting point for a document. So the document created from your first template inherited its properties but no association with that (first) template. When you saved it as a template you had two identical templates with no association - so no hierarchy. You can change either of them independently but without any consequential changes.

I trust this helps.

Hi :slight_smile:
There was a recent post from someone else telling us of 2 hierarchical
or tree-like file-management systems. When i say recent i mean within
the last week
