I hve got a PageType with an Image.

class News extends Page{
	
	static $has_one = array(
		'BannerImage' => 'Image'
	);

}

My news page has multiple children:

class ArticleCategory extends Page{
	static $has_one = array(
		'BannerImage'=>'Image'
}

Now I want that all ArticleCategorys have the same BannerImage as News.

ok, i dont 100% understand what you need to be done, but i think you trying to pull the image from "News" page to display on the "ArticleCarigory" ?! if this is it, Do the following:
in the Articlegatigory.SS add this: <% control children %> $BannerImage <% end_control %> << this will take the image from the childrent pages & list them on the Articlegatigory.SS page .
.................
If you trying to do something different, please explain more below ;)
good luck

Yes thats what I want. But I think I should have explain more in detail. News is the parent and the ArticleCategorys are the children. However you give me the hint to the solution. I used <% control parent %> $BannerImage <% end_control %>

I was pretty sure that it won't be something too complicated. But I haven't expected that it would be that easy. Thanks! :)
