When I create a Portfolio catalog from my custom Catalog Type, the Master Keywords list has only one entry

Description

I noticed that the Master Keywords list only has one Keyword in it after I create a catalog from a custom Catalog Type in Portfolio Desktop Client 11.0.2.

Solution

Portfolio Desktop Client creates the custom Catalog Type template properly, but when a new catalog is created from it, only the last item in the Master Keywords list shows up.

In the meantime, here’s a workaround:

Export the master keywords list from the source catalog and import the list into the newly-created catalog.

1. Open the catalog that was used to create the custom Catalog Type in Portfolio Desktop Client.
2. Go to Catalog > Administration… and click the Keywording tab.
3. Click “Export…” and enter a file name for the exported list, then click “Save”.
4. Open the new catalog in the desktop client and go to Catalog > Administration… then click the Keywording tab..
5. Click “Import…” and select the file of exported keywords, then click Open.
