Hi; My folder (which extends ATFolder from ATContentTypes) has a `catagory` attribute (field) which I want to be present in the catalog both as index and metadata. So I have added the `category` FiledIndex and metadata to my catalog object. Everything is fine when I look at my indexed custom folder in the catalog. However, the problem is that the subobjects of this folder will also have the same value as their parent for the category index and metadata because of the acquisition. Can I prevent this? On workaround is to prevent `category' from being acquired by subobjects by using some mechanism (like changing the name to _category which I do not like). Is it *the* way to go? I'd like to know people's idea about this problem. Cheers, Mohsen,
