Exception

A way to manage changes to style items and groups of style items that should not inherit the changes for specific fields where changes have already been applied.

If you make changes to child style items, then the properties that you change become exceptions so that changes made at the parent level are not inherited. Exceptions are exempt from inheritance so that they are not overwritten. The system validates exceptions by field and not by record.

For example, if you specify a price for a shirt at style item root level 0, then this price is inherited by the child style items. If you change the price for the shirt with an extra large (XL) size, then any further changes to price at a higher level will not be inherited by the XL size shirt.
