I don't seem to have inherited memberships working properly, but that may well be user error.
We have a family membership option. There are some further complexities to it, but just taking the simple scenario, I assume that if a household has this membership, all people listed as members of the household should get it (after the UpdateMembership cron job has had a crack at it).

Question 1: I've created the membership like any other, but in "Relationship Type" selected "Household Member of". However, people who are listed as Household members are not showing as having a membership, even though the household they are in does have this membership. Cronjob appears to complete OK. So have I got the relationship the wrong way around (in which case, can I submit a usability bug about the help text!) or is there some other problem?

Question 2: In reality it's more complex and the rules on the membership are that it can only apply to max 2 adults, and children under 18 (or under 23 in full time education) and in practice doesn't apply if they have their own membership. I appreciate that exact spec is peculiar to us, but is there any scope for excluding (a) people who have their own memberships, or (b) controlling the maximum number of people it can apply to?

Question 3: If someone signs up for this membership, they generally do so on their own account (as logging in as a household isn't really possible). I can of course manually them move the membership over to the household, but really the most useful behaviour would be if that if any person in the household has this membership, it goes to all people in the household without further admin. Is that possible?

Thanks.
