auto-assign value to parent field when value is assigned to a child field?

Submitted by jimspoon on 2012/09/12 12:31
 I have arranged fields in a hierarchy - for example -
 
Hardware Items > Storage Devices > Flash Memory Cards > CompactFlash (Memory Stick, SD, Micro SD).  These are all yes/no fields
 
If I check the the "Micro SD" field for an item, is it possible to set up IQ so that the parent fields (Hardware Items, Storage Devices, Flash Memory Cards) are also checked?
 
A row equation of some sort?

assign a field value to multiple items at the same time?

 In Ecco, I can highlight multiple items in a notepad, and in the folder pane, I can click on the button for a specific folder , and then click "Add Selected Items Folders" - and in this way I can assign a field value (e.g. yes/no) to multiple selected items at the same time.
 
Unfortunately I haven't been able to do this in IQ.  When I highlight multiple items in a grid, and then click a yes/no field check box in the properties pane field list - the yes/no field value is not assigned to the items I selected.  The Propertiies Pane title bar flashes orange and nothing happens.  It seems that checking the box in the field list (or in a form) works only when a single item is selected in the grid.
 
What's up with this?  Is this by design, a bug, a feature not yet implemented?
