[CPS-devel] portal_catalog and generic_setup

[Joachim Schmitz]

Hi,

I had included all xml, that is generated by the klicking the export-tab.

including only:

<object name="portal_catalog" meta_type="CMF Catalog">
  <column value="credits"/>
  <column value="passmark"/>
</object>

just creates the new columns.

everything is reindexed, so the new columns now have values.
