More or less Copied from one of my own post there :  upward inheritance
 
Suggestion : Implement downwards column equations.
 
When I last tried (in the field equation section : sum(parents) ) IQ said something like "Not implemented yet"...

Downward column equation -- if implemented like upward column equations --  would allow something like conditional inheritance, etc.
So instead of having stuff propagating everywhere, I could decide when something is inherited or not.

So this isn't implemented yet and the ""Children" option in the Hierarchy Equation properties does nothing? Shouldn't we remove it or at least disable it in IQ?
 
And automatic recalculation isn't supported yet either?
 
While I am on the subject, is "None" in the drop down just how you turn Hierarchy Equations off?
 
Assuming yes to all 3, I added a little to the errata on Field Management Dialog - Equations
 
Thanks,
