Hello,
I have a particle in "Home" outline, that I would like to duplicate in my "Base" outline.
I already populated it with a lot of things, and I want to clone it. Doing it from scratch is rerally tinme consuming.
I followed this tutorial:
www.rcatheme.com/documentation/gantry5/h...from-another-outline
But apparenly this is not possible. I get this when I got to "Inheritance"
This particle has been inherited by the following Outlines: Default.
And of course "Default" outline is not editable, and inherits its properties from "Base" outline.
A catch 22 I believe.
Is there another way to do that?
Thank you.

I see. Thank you.
Perhaps there is a way to do it through phpmyadmin if particle data are stored in the database?
Or are they stored in one of the files?
Anyway, I'll try to find out, and will report the results here if I find something of interest.

No, that information is not stored in the Joomla database. It's stored in flat files, and I recommend that you don't start manipulating those file manually otherwise you might irrecovably damage your site. YAML files are highly sensitve to structure (you cannot use tabs) so be very, very, careful.
