If you want to specify a default relationship type for a given product type combination, you can do so using a property setting. Specifying a default relationship type means that this relationship type is automatically selected when copying or linking from product type A to product type B. You can still select a different relationship type, if others are available.

Relationship types are not available out-of-the-box; therefore, a default relationship type is not specified when copying or linking between product types.

The Product/Apparel/Missy type is entered as follows:

In the following example, the Missy-Petite relationship types is the default relationship type selected when copying or linking from Product/Apparel/Missy type products to Product/Apparel/Petite type products.
