Region inheritance or subscription

· Oct 20 2021

Idea Summary
Define a region once and use it everywhere

Use Case
In many cases we need the same region several times. APEX will force us to copy them here. Changes to logic or layout then will have to be laboriously transferred by hand to regions already copied. For example, this way we could use and include the same card report of say users again and again.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
On the page that is to use the inherited region, you simply create a new region of the type "Subscription / Inherit Region" and specify the application-id, page-id and region-name. Additionally you can pass bind variables of the current page to the query of the "master" region. 
In the master region itself, you can specify via a flag that this region should be inheritable. Additionally you can define aliases for the bind variables.

This request is likely a duplicate of FR-1733.

    Is a region on a global page (0) not sufficient? You can limit the occurrence on every page by adding a condition.

    I think no. This is just a workaround. And it wouldn't work if you want to use a region from another application.

    similar concept, different implementation to another suggestion in this list. I wholeheartedly support this feature.
