I still getting confused, since in my first mail were a lot of questions and examples.
I was taking about Property-Definition changes in sub Object-Type definitions,
and assumed in our CMIS-Client/Consumer handling that changes are marked in property definitions with [inherited=False].
@Jay Brown: I hope that my assumption is matching your answer.
And not the second question : ”Or is inherited only a marker for “name”-Inheritance?”
In my special example it is even much more problematic, because the property definition
is one of the base properties of a CMIS-object.
To simplify everything to one question:
Is/Must a property-definition defined as [inherited=False] if anyone of its attributes [updateability, required, choices, openChoices]?
Thanks,
Alex

The property definition is inherited, not property value.

Hello CMIS-Members,
I got a question regarding Inheritance in Type-structure, causing some confusion during development.
Based on CMIS spec:
2.1.3.1 Object-Type Hierachy and Inheritance
….
The properties of a CMIS base type MUST be inherited by its descendant types.
…
2.1.3.3.2 Attributes common to ALL Object-Type Property Definitions
…
inherited Boolean
Indicates whether the property definition is inherited from the parent type when TRUE or it is
explicitly defined for this object-type when FALSE.
…
Question is when MUST the inherited-Attribute be FALSE?
Example for the problem (notation is Object-Type + “. “ + Property-Type):
cmis:document.cmis:name (inherited=False, updateability=READONLY)
example:SubDocument.cmis:name (inherited=True, updateability=ONCREATE) or (inherited=False, updateability=ONCREATE)
Must attribute changes of a Type-Definition be marked with “inherited=False”?
Or is inherited only a marker for “name”-Inhertance?
Best Regards,
Alexander Haag
