Include Child Item

If a folder is added to the package template, a child item in that folder is also added to the package template based on the Include Child Item option selected by the user in the Package Template window. If a child item is added to the folder after adding the folder to the package template, the child item will not be added automatically to the package template. You must then add the child item manually to the package template containing the folder. You can right-click the folder from the left hand side tree view in the package template, and click Include Child Item to add the child item.

To add a child item, right-click an item for which you want to add child item and then select Show Child Item. Click New and then create a child item.

The child item can also be another folder. When you add the child item, all the associated artifacts, child artifacts, and security artifacts of the child item also gets added to the package template. You can add up to top three levels of child item.

Consider that the Include Child Artifacts is selected as No while creating new package template. If you right-click on the folder and select Include Child Item option, then the child items get added to the package template. Similarly, associated artifacts for the child item gets added on including child item for folder even though the Include Associated Artifacts is selected as No while creating the package template.
