Is there a way to populate a section list editor with the content from a different section list editor?

I have a need to create a number of list editors that will use mostly the same list details, but each needs to be able to be separately edited. It would be really nice if I could create a master section editor that would automatically pre-populate each of the other page section editors..

Thanks Daryl,

In this case, if the "master section" is subsequently updated, does it have any effect on the other records? If not, is there a method that would allow the other records to be updated when the "master record" was updated?

Hi Kurt,

Yes, functions that are hooked to "record_postsave" will always be called whenever you save a record - adding a new one, or updating an existing record.

In addition to my example code, you should also check if the $tableName is equals to the table name of your master section.
So that your script for updating the records of other sections will only get executed when saving a record in your master section.
