Appending Title.gtzip PIP / Importing Data Source

Good day, and Happy Holidays to everyone —
I’m hoping someone can clarify whether it’s possible to append a Title.gtzip input from one vMix project into another while keeping the Data Source assignments intact. When I append a Title.gtzip from a different project, the Title Editor’s Data Source field resets to None, even though the same Data Source is fully configured in both projects.
This becomes a real challenge because many of our Title.gtzip files contain 200+ individual data bindings. Reassigning each one manually is doable, but extremely time‑consuming, and it makes sharing Title.gtzip assets between projects far less practical. If anyone has insight, a workaround, or can confirm whether this is expected behavior, I’d greatly appreciate the guidance.
Best regards, Carl

@ carl.cut4th The "Append" feature allows you to bring the Input over, but none of its settings (which includes Data Source mappings): - https://www.vmix.com/help29/OpenPreset.htmlYou would be best to open the Preset itself and then modify it appropriately for your current project (or "Append" it and remap the Data Sources).

@IceStream
Following up on this — I got it working in the end, and since I'm exploring more modular ways of building show parts, I wanted to share the order that worked for me and ask whether there's a better route.
What worked: keep the project that holds the configured Title.gtzip as the base, save the current session as a bundle, and then Append the remaining inputs (videos, etc.) on top. The Data Sources stay intact that way, because they live in the base session — the appended inputs lose their settings, but videos have nothing to lose there anyway.
Two things that confused me at first: Open just closes and replaces the current session, so there's no direct merge, and the Append button only became usable for me after I'd saved the session as a bundle.
Since I'm trying to build shows modularly (base material, then sport-specific parts, then on-site inputs appended on top), I'd like to know: is there another way to do this, or is base + bundle + Append basically the path?
