form.option.inheritanceMode ViewHelper <flux:form.option.inheritanceMode>

Inheritance mode option

Control how this Form will handle inheritance (page context only). There are two possible values of this option:

• restricted
• unrestricted

Note that the default (the mode which is used if you do NOT specify the mode with this ViewHelper/option) is defined by the Flux extension configuration. If you do not change the extension configuration then the default behavior is "restricted". Any template that wants to use a mode other than the default MUST specify the mode with this option.

When the option is set to "restricted" either by this ViewHelper or by extension configuration, the inheritance behavior matches the Flux behavior pre version 10.1.x, meaning that inheritance will only happen if the parent (page) has selected the same Form (layout) as the current page. As soon as a different Form is encountered in a parent, the inheritance stops. In short: inheritance only works for identical Forms.

Alternatively, when the option is set to "unrestricted", the above constraint is removed and inheritance can happen for Forms which are NOT the same.

This makes sense to use if you have different page templates which use the same values (for example a shared set of fields) and you want child pages to be able to inherit these values from parents even if the child page has selected a different page layout.
