Inheritance options

[Former Member]

Hi,

For one of our Zattribute, we set inherited option in T77OMATTR table. In which wat is the diff. of these three.

1. Normal Inheritance(additive)

2. Local values overwrite inherited values

3. Inherited values cannot be redifined locally

Thank you.

Hello Maron,

Say we have object 'O' and object 'S'.

We assign 'XXX' value to object 'O' for attribute 'Zattribute'. Then, depending on the inheritance type for this attribute, scenarios will be as below:

1- Normal Inheritance(additive)

object 'S' has values 'XXX' (inherited), but if you add 'YYY' value locally, then 'XXX' and 'YYY' are assigned to object 'S'

2- Local values overwrite inherited values

object 'S' has value 'XXX' (inherited), but if you add locally value 'YYY', then only 'YYY' is kept ('XXX' is erased)

3- Inherited values cannot be redifined locally

object 'S' can only have 'XXX' value (inherited) because you cannot maintain any values locally

4- No inheritance

object 'S' has no value, so if you add locally 'YYY' value, only this value is assigned to object 'S'.

Regards.

Laurent.
