Configuring to Inherit a Column Value From Parent Record
In the case of self-recursive conceptual objects, if the child record has a column whose value is the same as the parent column value, then the child column can be defined to inherit the value from the parent. That is, when entering a child record, the value entered for a column in the parent record is inherited.
To inherit a column value from a parent record
1. On the Menu toolbar, click Define > Objects and select the self recursive data object.
2. Click the Structure tab.
3. Click the Edit icon of the column with the value to inherit.
4. Set the Inheritance Qualifier to Inherit/Overwrite.
5. Click Save.
