Set options to copy additional data during variant item creation
By default, arrangements and absolute occurrence data are not copied when a variant item is created to save on system resources. If you want the system to copy the information when a variant item is created, set the following site preferences to true: Site preference Description PSECopyAbsOccDuringVICreation Controls copy of absolute occurrence data from the generic assembly to the variant item on creation of a variant item. Valid values: true or false. PSECopyArrangementsDuringVICreation Controls copy of arrangements data from the generic assembly to the variant item on creation of a variant item. This preference is honored only if the preference PSECopyAbsOccDuringVICreation is set to true. Valid values: true or false. For more information about these preferences, see Administration Data Documentation on Support Center.
