what are inherited when a Table is extended

[sunil29]

Hello

Can any one let me know what and all will be inherited to the child table form the parent table, if I extend the parent?

Thanks in advance

I mean, if we extend the table we will get all the parent fields.

Beside fields ,we will also get client script and UI policy.

What and all will we get in addition to this

Hi

Business rules are also inherited.

Workflows aren't

Hi Sunil,

When you add new field to parent, that field will automatically be inherited by all child tables.:

1.[create table ] has a line "For tables that extend another table, fields on the parent table also appear on the Table Columns embedded list for the current table. If you modify these fields, remember that all changes to fields on the parent table also affect all child tables, not just the current table."

2.[add fields from parent to child ] also confirms that to add new field to all child, just add to parent, which will automatically show-up in all child tables.

->Business rules are inherited. It is likely that the BR is running, triggering an event

->The ACL is also inherited down to extended tables.
You don't have to add the role to the users, you can add a new ACL on the extended table for that particular field (if the parent has a specific ACL for the field).

->workflows and notification are not inherited from parent to child.

->Business rules, Client scripts marked as inherit, UI Actions, UI policies.

->It's actually easier to just right click a record as admin, choose Configure - All It will give the same as incident.CONFIG (table name.CONFIG) and you can look through all that affects the table. The hardest I feel to adjust are UI Actions as they have the same names and need duplicate values (I think the field is called) to override parent action.

Kindly mark correct or helpful if it helps you to solve your problem.

Thank You,

Hi @Ashvini Kadus1 is it possible if you create two fields/columns in Table parent, that fields not be inherited by class child ? If yes, How?
