SetFolderVariable -inheritpartly parameter

When I use -inheritpartly with SetFolderVariable in a script I understand it should set varlable inheritance to "Inherit from parent folder: folder variables may overwrite inherited values".

However when I do this, while it sets the variable correctly, when I go to the folder properties Variables tab it remains on "Use folder variables only".

The script looks like this:

Code: Select all

SetCurrentFolder Root\Servers\Server01\
SetFolderVariable fvar_note "." -inheritpartly

What am I doing wrong? I'm using v11.97.

Well I can answer my own question here. I was trying to modify folders I had already created, so I deleted all the folders and re-created them using "-inheritpartly" in the script and it worked perfectly.

So the trick is to do the job properly the first time...

Depends on current folder settings.
If default option "Inherit all from parent" is used then HostMonitor sets option specified in the script.
Otherwise HostMonitor does not change mode of inheritance, just sets the variable

OK thanks. Maybe it would be useful if it was possible to modify this after a folder has been created?

May be, but we think its better the way it works now (its not a bug, it was designed this way), it works for long time this way..
