This is a little different (deals with additional field types), but I'm actually very confused about this as well. I added 4 "additional field types":

Open To Public?
Date Automated
Height of Tower (ft.)
Height of Focal Plane (ft.)

and checked the "*Check box to apply these settings and permissions to all children:" box on a parent category (with and ID of 1). I believe I saw a post that stated that the additional field types don't apply to the children, even with the box checked. The child category (ID of 2) doesn't have the 4 additional field types, but when I looked in the database, I saw two instances of each field, one with a cat of 1 and one with a cat of 2 (see attachment).

Can you please clarify? I'm using Version 3.3. Thanks.
