I have a group of dynamic content pieces that we'll be using on lots of our email templates moving forward. I'd love to keep them as a shared content item so that future updates to the grouping can be done in one shot (rather than editing all of our templates whenever we have a change.) I've had no trouble putting field merge items into shared content (and into dynamic content), but dynamic content inside a shared content item does not appear to function at all. I'm not squeamish about poking around in the HTML, so if there's a trick to making this work, I'd love to hear it!
Here's some things I've noticed:
- Changes to the dynamic content don't appear to update to the shared content. It only displays whatever the default state of the dynamic content is at the time of the copy/paste. (So updates to the dynamic content don't populate, even to the default state.)
- Merge fields within the dynamic content DO function and update as expected. (but obviously, only to the default state, since that's all I can get to work.)
Any ideas?
Thanks!
