In this case, users don't need to specify the values and any set property in the subclass will be ignored. if `inherited`_ is false, it specifies the intension to explicitly set subclass's properties to user specified values. Users should set the properties in the subclass with the desired values.When used in a configuration information object, The values of the properties in the subclass are the effective values. if `inherited`_ is true, the object is getting the effective values from upper level. If false, the values are explicitly set by a user.
