Hi album1834! > [@album1834](#): > > Templates can be used to create something like pseudo child types. I guess you can add properties/relations based on templates if that suits your flow better. When you open an object’s relations, it shows where the property is from, so it’s still segmented in some way. The ones that don’t apply can be left blank. If you want a property/relation to be enabled for all objects of that type, you can add it in the type itself. (Like Description) Personally, what I do is create custom tags for what would be child types. So I can then filter it to that relation when creating a set. It does take some effort. Lately, I find myself using Collections more often so I don’t have to prepare a tag beforehand. (Whether you want a relation to show in your Graph or not is also something to consider.) I believe types and relations (the library, in general) is still a work in progress. I’ve read posts before about having multi-types. You might be interested in this discussion: > [@Multi-Type Vs. Inheritance](https://community.anytype.io/t/multi-type-vs-inheritance/9122): > > Overview The two features that create the most excitement to me are [Multi-types](https://community.anytype.io/t/type-composition-objects-of-multiple-types/3496) and [Inheritance,](https://community.anytype.io/t/sub-types/2271) two features hightly interrelated. In a comment by @ignatovv, he said that the [Team wants to introduce Multi-Types](https://community.anytype.io/t/type-composition-objects-of-multiple-types/3496/10) and in the last [Townhall](https://community.anytype.io/t/anytype-spring-town-hall-a-first-look-at-our-new-beta-software/8741/11) a dev talked about working in some small feature requests as extendable objects after the open beta (iirc). In case the team had to prioritize one of these, which one would you choose?

Please describe. The add relation pop-up in the create type view lists all the relations across all object types, even the ones such as the camera, camera aperture, camera exposure & rotten tomato scores, etc. These relations are tightly coupled to an objects type. A rotten tomato score is not applicable to any type except a media or a web series. Same goes for the camera exposure relations which is only applicable for the image type.

I hope we can clarify some common terminology that might be ambiguous. What I’m writing here is not necessarily the right answer, this is just to get the conversation started.
