Hi guys,
First of all thanks for such a great software!
Just upgraded to 3.3 from 3.1 (actually made clean RP 3.3 install, new DB, etc.) and found some problem: subcategory cannot inherit all custom fields from its parent. Here are the steps I made:
- created top category (say, "Collections"), added custom field (drop box) with params "single item||collection||other". Set a few custom text fields like "approx price", "content link", etc. Set permissions for products publishing: for registered users and moderators.
Set this category to "apply settings and permissions to all children". Set for this category "contain products": no.
- created ten subcategories for my top category.

The first problem appears here: publishing permissions reset: everybody could publish products, not only reg.users and moderators as it was stated in top category settings. Also, only text fields are inherited; drop down menu is not present in subcategory editpage. If I now try to publish something: custom text fields are present but drop down menu is not.

Any ideas?
