I am trying to create an element template library with traffic signs. I wanted to attach item types to the element template so that when an element template was applied to an element the item type fields would be attached as well. Rather than hand type every single field for each element template I wanted to
1. create an element template with item types attached
2. fill out the common data that will appear across all of the signs in that folder
3. copy the element template for each sign that will be in that folder and edit only the non-common data in the fields
However, when I tried to do this, none of the item type data carried over to the copied template.
Is there something I am missing here? Is there a better way to do this? Or is this just a defect?
