Paste following code to your theme’s functions.php
:
add_action('save_post','changeTemplateOnSave');
function changeTemplateOnSave(){
global $post;
$curr_tmp = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true);
$parent_tmp = get_post_meta($post->post_parent, '_wp_page_template', true);
if($post->post_parent)
update_post_meta($post->ID,'_wp_page_template',$parent_tmp,$curr_tmp);
}
This will force WordPress to change page template to it’s parent template on post save.
Not tested but should work.
