Prevent inheritance for some right click options at product or vendor-level

Today it is possible to set right click options at the All Products level and create overrides at the product or vendor level.

If a product or vendor level change was made to e.g. Manage assignments, and then made a change to the same right click option at the All Products level, inheritance will re-apply down the tree and clobber all previously (and carefully) set vendor or product customisations.

This request is to add a control which allows a user to prevent a product or vendor to be clobbered from inherited settings.

    This is super important for example if you have a sensitive Application which requires very different update timelines (assignments) than your top level default.

    You are currently left with only 2 options:

    • Use only the assignment option configured on top level "All products" and try to find a common setting which is not always possible

    • Don't use top level configuration and manually configure assignments on every app (stupid time)
