Weird, what code do you use to create new items? Normally the SOPTemplate
page gets copied during the creation process thus any data stored in it and
its objects should get copied too. I used that in the past.
Is
there a way that the SOPTemplate can propagate it's property values to
new
instances of the SOPClass? That is, I want some
(but not all) of the
properties of SOPClass to be the same for every new
document/instantiation

Is this value supposed to be user-editable? If it is, it's gonna be hard
to
propagate if it gets changed. On the other hand
if it's not
user-editable,
there's not much of a point in using an
object to store it.
Please forgive my naivety but how would I store "static" text (ie, text
that is not user editable) within a class/template.
As text on the Class' Sheet page.
Simply edit the Sheet page and add some content on it -> it will immediately
change for all your documents.

Thanks again,

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
