I am using the CUSTOMVAR:NUMCOLUMN from Norman Rouxells website to establish multiple columns. If I assign 1 section of my site with the CUSTOMVAR:NUMCOLUMN it will affect the whole site. Everything was ok before the upgrade to 7.02

There is an issue with 7.0.2 (not in 7.0.1) whereby a Custom Property value set for one product/section within a section will incorrectly be used by all products/sections which come after it in the section - where those products/sections would normally use the default.

The only workaround at the moment is to explicitly set the value for the custom property for each product/section in the store where you want to use it - i.e. don't rely on defaults.

I'm working with the development team on a solution.
You can also downgrade back to 7.0.1 - there's info on the Actinic V7 Forum on doing this at http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=10717

This will probably affect the mutli column brochure patch as well.
