My master.html has the following `<title>` in the `<head></head>` –

```auto
<title data-pgc-edit="page_title">Master_page_title</title>

```

A child page has the following `<title>` (just as an example) –

```auto
<title data-pgc-edit="page_title">Child_page_title</title>

```

When I apply “\Components\Quick update” to the child page, its `<title>` reverts to that of the master – i.e., Child\_page\_title is replaced by Master\_page\_title. I need a way to preserve Child\_page\_title (or similar) on existing child pages when “\Components\Quick update” is applied while still allowing Child\_page\_title to be editable.

I tried this tutorial ([Master Pages | Pinegrow Web Editor](https://pinegrow.com/docs/pinegrow-pro/master-pages/) - “Making page title and meta fields editable”) but I must be missing something.

Pinegrow 6.4, Windows 10

Thanks,  
Don C.

Hi @dculp,  
The problem is that the attributes in the master and child pages are different. In the child page you want the attribute, `data-pgc-field="page_title"` not `-edit`. The easiest way to see this is to make a new child page and look at the code for what the attribute should be.  
Cheers,
