title: CQ5: Inheriting/Extended Dialogs
body: <p>For reference, I'm on CQ5.5</p>
  
  <p>I am curious if there is any way to extend upon an inherited dialog, without overwriting it's parent dialog.</p>
  
  <p>For example, have a structure as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>base-page-template
     - dialog
        - title
        - description
  
  inerited-from-base-page
     - dialog
        - custom field
        --------------- [inherited from parent]
        - title
        - description
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I'm trying to avoid is for example: I need to add a new property to base-page that should show up on all page templates that extend from base-page. My current solution is to add that property to all dialogs separately. So for example, in the above structure I would have to add the new "default property" to both the base-page and the inherited-from-base-page dialogs.</p>
  
  <p>The only other option I could think of was creating a panel node that represents "base page" and then including that panel w/ an xtype:cqinclude node.</p>
  
  <p>Before going with the latter route I'm curious if anyone has extended their dialogs in the fashion I'm describing above.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is greatly appreciated, Thank you,
  Brodie</p>
