Hi Team,
I’ve a requirement:
“I need fill_factor to be applied automatically to child tables when they’re created during “Create Parent” function in pg_partman. We tried our hands dirty by editing the procedure of pg_partman, and yet we didn’t achieve the desired outcome. However, we could achieve it using “ALTER TABLE” functionality which we inscribed in the procedure after creation of child tables. But this is not what we wanted to achieve. We require it to run during creation of these child tables. We don’t need it to alter after its creation.

The next version of pg_partman that I'm hoping to have out within the next week or so will have support for inheriting the parent table's relation options. I believe this will include the fill_factor property.
If you'd like to test it out before then, there is a beta release available in this PR - https://github.com/pgpartman/pg_partman/pull/615
Hopefully in the future, core PostgreSQL will support inheriting these table properties.
