Hi @mbourla ,

Oh yes, here is a good explanation provided by my colleague:

"We don't allow fall back to parent for independent rules as it breaks class switching between classes. If the rules on parent are completely different and if you switch classes you will end up with duplicates. That's the reason we require to define rules at parent level and inherit them to allow class switching."

Class switching for CI items can also cause data loss, so we don't want to arbitrarily allow class switching for independent items to happen easily.

But if you have a use case that can't be done using our product today, please let our PM know through enhancement request. Our PM's are always happen to talk to our customers about how you use our products and what you're looking for!
