Inherit by default to custom property in items not pulling through

Hey Andrew, is this happening for new items or for existing items? We purposely made it so that if you change the default mode/default value of a custom property, then it does not modify any existing items, because it could screw up your existing projects if things start inheriting when they weren't, etc.

I did a test on my end, and the default mode is applying for new items/takeoffs.

As a side note, I believe the team plans to add tools in the future to help batch update existing items/takeoffs when adding or changing custom properties.

Hi Lorin,

Thanks for the reply.

Your point 'We purposely made it so that if you change the default mode/default value of a custom property, then it does not modify any existing items, because it could screw up your existing projects if things start inheriting when they weren't, etc.' is a good one and I totally agree with this as it makes complete sense.

The issue I have is that in the custom properties settings, I have my items to be set to inherit by default. However, when I go to templates to create my new takeoff templates and add in items, the items are not by default set to inherit which means i have to manually amend the setting in item to inherit.

I have done a screen recording I could email across if it helps?

Yeah, that would be great! Please send it to support@zztakeoff.com, and the development team will check it out.

Thank you very much for the video 🙂

Looks like the bug is when you add an item from the takeoff properties pop-up (works fine if you use the plus icon in the upper right of takeoffs/templates tab or right click add item).

We'll get this solved as soon as possible.

Awesome! Thank you

Hey Andrew, I believe this is fixed with our recent updates. Is this working properly for you now?

Hi Lorin,

This is now working correctly, thank you.
