publishing templatedata to multiple branches

Is there functionality built into Teamsite that allows you to submit templatedata to STAGING on a branch, and then lets you copy that templatedata folder to multiple branches?

Thanks.

I don't know if it is a built in feature or not but in 5.0.1, I did a similar thing. I had a custom menu item which had a CGI to perform this copy and submit operation on other branches on the server.

This CGI could be kicked off with a wrapper as a menu item. You could refer to admin guide for the procedure of adding custom menu items.

Hope this helps.

Or you can modify the default submit workflow and add an external task that will copy or "iwupdate" to the other workarea(s).

There are other ways too, like using the submit trigger, etc.

Hope that helps

Let's separate the two things:
1) ability to submit templatedata to STAGING
- absolutely: "Submit"

2) Ability to copy the templatedata folder to multiple branches
- some answers have already been given on *ways* to do this
- CAVEAT: you need to make sure that whatever procedure you use transfers the extended attributes correctly as well.
- CAVEAT: if this is something you plan to do on an on-going basis (to keep DCTs and DCRs and PT's synched between branches) - you will most likely run into merge problems somewhere along the way, or you will have to turn on overwrite mode which means that changes made in another branch will be overwritten.

Perhaps the question you really need to answer are:
- Why do you want to do this?
- What are you hoping to accomplish?
