Propagating type properties

These are the instructions for propagating type properties in type trees.

Use Propagate to pass a type property setting from a type to its subtypes.

To propagate a type property:

  1. Open the Properties view for a type.
  2. Right-click the property you want to propagate, such as Item Subclass > Restrictions, and select Propagate from the context menu.
  3. When a confirmation message is displayed, select Yes.
    Upon completion of the propagation, a message is displayed that confirms the number of types that the propagation process has changed.
  4. Click OK to close the message box.
The setting of the specified type property from the selected type is propagated to all of the appropriate subtypes in the type tree.
