Config sync_fields_from_body is added. If set to 1, then the synchronise option will synchronise the text based on the paragraph styles and fill the content of each paragraph style in its respective text field. If set to 0, synchronise will work using the normal logic. In order to set the paragraph style, create a text file using:
starts_with.item: to point to a paragraph style
contains.item: to point to a word inside a paragraph style
Let us consider you have fields byline (static), tag (custom field) and dateline (custom field), are all added inside the body box and not in separate boxes on Indesign, so as an example the text file contains the following:
dateline.starts_with.item.1 = ""
dateline.starts_with.item.2 = ""
dateline.contains.item.1 = "Dateline"
byline.starts_with.item.1 = ""
byline.starts_with.item.2 = ""
byline.contains.item.1 = "_writer"
byline.contains.item.2 = "_byline"
byline.contains.item.3 = "~byline"
byline.contains.item.7 = "OS Opinion Letter Byline"
byline.contains.item.8 = "OS Byline 1st"
tag.starts_with.item.2 = ""
tag.starts_with.item.3 = ""
It means that whenever the synchronise detects a text with paragraph styles or or a paragraph style that contains word Dateline, then cut the text from the body and move it to Dateline field, hence when you edit the story after synchronisation, you will find the value in the Dateline field.
Once the text file is ready, save it and then go to Administration → Configuration and Settings → Synchronise Tags Mapping, then upload the field and press Generate Tags.
The values added will get displayed and then you can edit the tags from inside the page and press Update Tags.
You will find checkboxes, Underline, Bold and Italic. If any of the boxes is checked then on synchronise the text will get formatted with Underline, Bold or Italic.
Synchronise option from inside the story editor is added. In the story editor action logs, Synchronise Article option is added. It is used to synchronise a story directly from the page content or from the parent story (in case it was duplicated from an article). It is used when we need to synchronise a specific story to avoid using the page validator, synchronise action or synchronise maintenance to avoid syncing all the articles on the page.
In NPressXT Styles, two variables are now added %jump_ppage% and %jump_cpage%. They are used to update the jump page numbers (Parent and Child) on indesign files. So if you create a box with a fetch type that has %jump_ppage%, and drag and drop the story to this box, then the plugin will refresh the parent page of the story. The same applies for a box with a fetch type containing %jump_cpage%, but it will update the child page of the story.

Go to PI Pref:
Head and set the type as Title

Then create snippets and fill the text box for example by Head or Headline instead of Title, and Deck instead of Subtitle, and Caption instead of image_caption

Status A has Status B as the next status
Status C has Status D as the next status
