Rich,

I have been using our.umbraco.org/.../autoexport2dotnet and have had no issues with inherited properties

Regards

Yes seeing the exact same issue in v.4.7, issue occurs with our without using the autoexport2dotnet (our.umbraco.org/.../autoexport2dotnet) - so seems an issue in the core export logic.

Place a property of any type in the Generic tab and it always exports, move it to a tab inherited from the parent docType and it's excluded from the export.

This is caused by what seems like a bug in the umbraco.presentation project, in \umbraco\presentation\umbraco\dialogs\ExportCode.aspx.cs in the GenerateProperties method.

private object GenerateProperties(DocumentType dt)
		{
			var sb = new StringBuilder();
			
			foreach (var pt in 
                dt.getVirtualTabs.Where(x => x.ContentType == dt.Id).SelectMany(x => x.GetPropertyTypes(dt.Id, true))
                .Concat(dt.PropertyTypes.Where(x => x.ContentTypeId == dt.Id /* don't limit this to generic tab! && x.TabId == 0*/))
                )
			{
				//...loops and writes properties here

In the above the bit to remove is the "x.TabId == 0" that I've commented out - this limits the properties rendered to the first tab (the generic properties).

I have only tested this quickly, but seems to work perfectly - I will update here if I find any issues - cheers!

PS. Please note that this method has changed between version 4.7.0 and 4.7.1 because of a separate issue - however for both version removing the "x.TabId == 0" solves this issue.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for sharing the fix.  I think you should also post this on Codeplex so one of the devs might see it and update it in the core as well :)

Good point - that's here if anyone wants to vote: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/30419

Slight amend - need a distinct on the end, otherwise anything actually sitting in the "generic properties" tab gets duplicated:

		private object GenerateProperties(DocumentType dt)
		{
			var sb = new StringBuilder();
			
			foreach (var pt in 
                dt.getVirtualTabs.Where(x => x.ContentType == dt.Id).SelectMany(x => x.GetPropertyTypes(dt.Id, true))
                .Concat(dt.PropertyTypes.Where(x => x.ContentTypeId == dt.Id /* don't limit this to generic tab! && x.TabId == 0*/)).Distinct()
                )
			{
				//...loops and writes properties here

Further to the above, if you include abstractions (interfaces) in your export - the above amend also need to be done in the GenerateAbstractProperties method - so remove the TabID == 0 check, and add a Distinct() to the end.
