When a condition is inherited, it will inherit all the data on the condition from the case, in it’s current form, including any changes to the condition data on the case. However some data from the condition is not inherited, as noted below

Data not inherited

The following data from a condition is not inherited when a case links to it

  • The condition status

    • An inherited condition will always have an initial status of “Applied”, regardless of the status of the condition that is being inherited.

  • The inheritable flag

    • When a condition is inherited, the inheritable flag will always be set to “No”. This is to prevent conditions from being inherited again if another case was to link to the current case. The flag can be edited and set back to “Yes”, but by default, inherited conditions are not intended to be inherited again to another case.

Note

While inherited conditions start out with the data from the case it inherited it from, updates to the original case condition or the inherited condition do not affect each other. The conditions will behave independently once inherited.
