Field Inheritance

Nested databases can inherit fields from their parent for consistent data structures.

Enabling Inheritance

1. Create or edit a nested database
2. Toggle Inherit fields from parent
3. Parent fields appear in entries automatically

How It Works

• Inherited fields display "(from Parent Name)" indicator
• Values are stored on the child entry but follow parent field definitions
• Changes to parent fields propagate to all inheriting children

Use Cases

Asset Management

Parent "Hardware" with shared fields (serial number, purchase date), children "Laptops" and "Desktops" with specific fields.

Contact Database

Parent "Contacts" with name/email, children "Customers" and "Vendors" with role-specific fields.
