'Propagation of Properties' report changes unintended document types

34 Views

Hi All,

could someone explain how the 'Propagation of Properties' works?

I tested it for changing the custom property change. I have 4-5 different resource types with each property structure.

My intention is to change a particular property value. So,

I created a document of that resource type and assigned the value for it.

I selected the target folder(which also has other document types and doesnt contain this property) and give the property to propogate.

then in the result summary, i could see along with the relavent document type, all other document type and folders meta data also changed. However i couldnt see those changes in the corresponding object details.

I am really confused on how this is working.

1. Does it changes other document types by adding this property as a new property?

2. How can i see this new property value in the document type where the property is not maintained itself?

3. how to avoid this ? in preventing other document types and folders to get changed.

Please kindly clarify the questions. this would be very helpful in understanding.

Regards

Senthil
