To illustrate how Standard Template sections are incorporated into other templates and Items, we’ll consider a simple example of multilevel inheritance below.
Standard Template
Contains fields which define how Sitecore should manage an Item:
Low Level Custom Template
Contains two custom sections; inherits from the Standard Template:
Custom Template
Contains one section; inherits from the Low Level Custom Template:
Now let’s create an Item from the Custom Template:
Apart from Section 3 defined in the Custom Template, the resulting item contains Section 1 and Section 2 (as long as Custom Template inherits from Low Level Custom Template) and also all sections defined in the Standard Template.
