Property inheritance
When an object inherits the properties of another, inheritance relates to the value of the property and not of the type.
If you have defined a property of "Version Number" type on an object with value "6.3", objects inheriting this object will all have a "Version Number" with value "6.3".
To modify the value of an inherited property:
1. Create a new property of the same type with a new value (for example, "Version Number of XP Workstations").
2. Replace the inherited property with the new property.
