Issue
When an information template is exported from one environment and imported into another, the link to the web content structure's subtype is lost. The template remains linked to the main structure (e.g., Web Content), but not the specific subtype (e.g., News), requiring manual reconfiguration after import.
Reproduction Steps:
- In the source environment, create a web content structure with a subtype.
- Create an information template and link it to the structure's subtype.
- Export the structure (as a JSON file) and import it into the destination environment.
- Export the information template (as a LAR file) and import it into the destination environment.
- Expected Result: The imported information template is linked to both the structure and its subtype.
- Actual Result: The imported information template is only linked to the main structure, and the subtype association is missing.
Environment
- Quarterly Releases
Resolution
- This behavior is a known product limitation.
- The necessary fix requires changes to the product's APIs, which cannot be backported to existing versions.
- A feature request has been created to address this in a future release. You can track its progress here: LPD-59393.
