Aggregate Regions created from Master

Me again. Just wondering if there's a way to aggregate the regions (created dynamically from a master) from sub-pages into its top-level parent?

Basically I want the top level parent page to show all the content combined from each of its sub-pages. I looked into the "Sharing pages" documentation, but it seems I can only do this if the subpages were created statically, rather than dynamically from a Master page, since the Perch regions all have the same name when created from a Master.

Thanks,
Chad Tiffin

You can use perch_content_custom() with a wildcard in the page option:

perch_content_custom('Region name', [
    'page' => '/parent-page/*',
]);

I've used this code to compile all of the Packages pages into one page (all my pages are in the same directory, even subpages. The Package pages are created from a master page:

perch_content_custom('Packages_Master', [
  'page' => '/*',
]);

It seems to have also included my contact page, which has a region that's named 'Contact', and is neither a subpage of Packages nor was it created from a Master page... none of my other unrelated pages were included, just the contact page and I can't figure out why.

Found a workaround by renaming only the pages I wanted with a pre-fix and including that with a wildcard.
