Copying Items Between Databases Doesn't Bring Custom Attributes Properly

[goggin]

Is this why when I copy the Journal Year template from the provided sample file and paste it into my practice db, it doesn't work as advertised?

That is, highlighting a given month and hitting insert is supposed to produce a Journal child item with today's date as the title, but instead I get a text child item.

I get item attributes (i'm pretty sure, anyway), but don't get the role the "form" plays in the discussions above...that's why I'm not sure I've understood this thread correctly. And I definitely don't know what is meant by "copying form attributes to a template."

Thx in advance for the help...
