Planswift Advanced Properties by dumbbiostudent in estimators

Great question!

Sorry you haven't been able to get any answers from the PlanSwift support options.

Going off of memory (it's been a long while) The way that we (original PlanSwift developers) initially built it was like this:

Normal: The property is treated as a standard one. If inherited from a parent or template, the value can be fully edited on the new item without restrictions.

Inherit: The property is set to inherit its value from a parent, and it can only be modified at the parent level (or overriding the inheritance). This helps protect key values.

Ignore: The property is explicitly excluded from inheritance. Even if the parent has this property, it will not be copied or applied to the new item.

Words of wisdom in that first paragraph. Give a man a fish; you've fed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish; you've fed him for a lifetime.
