Hi there,

I’ve set the meta description in the DB settings (as per [https://designers.hubspot.com/docs/tutorials/how-to-build-dynamic-pages-with-hubdb](https://designers.hubspot.com/docs/tutorials/how-to-build-dynamic-pages-with-hubdb)), however this is applying to the og:description and not the meta description, which is still displaying the description from the parent page.

The parent page: [Mews hospitality Marketplace | Apps & integration solutions](https://www.mews.com/products/marketplace)

Dynamic page: [Mews x Mews RMS | The Hospitality App Store](https://www.mews.com/products/marketplace/atomize)

Hey @piersg , I took a look at your pages and the reason your dynamic pages’ meta description are showing the parent page’s meta description is due to your template. The page template you are using includes a head.html partial template that contains this:

`<meta name="description" content="{{ content.meta_description }}">`

If you look at your dynamic page’s [Developer Info](https://designers.hubspot.com/docs/hubl/how-to-use-developer-info-on-cms-pages) (click on HubSpot sprocket \> Developer Info), you’ll find that content.meta\_description on the page contains the meta description of the parent page. But page\_meta.meta\_description will contain the meta description set by the HubDB table.

So you should change the HubL in head.html template from content.meta\_description to page\_meta.meta\_description.
