Set Properties Sheet fields to inherit previously entered values

A project can be configured so that a value entered in a field in a Properties dialog is "inherited" by the same field when that Properties dialog is accessed again when labelling another, previously unlabelled, item of that type.

For example, the functionality is switched on for equipment Prefix field, and an equipment item is labelled with a value of "20". The next time an equipment item is labelled for the first time, when the Properties dialog for this item is opened, the Prefix field will automatically be completed with the value "20". This can be replaced by another value if required. This new value will then be the "inherited" value for the equipment Prefix field.

Select the Properties dialog fields to which this function is applied using the Pipes - Settings Sub-Category, Instruments - Settings Sub-Category, Equipment - Settings Sub-Category, Valves - Settings Sub-Category and Miscellaneous - Settings Sub-Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program.
