Missing feature: restore inherited formatting

JohanK

Hi,

I'm missing a way to reset the formatting of elements in the property editor (Advanced tab). I want an external css file to determine the formatting (font, size, background color...). If I by misstake click on the Font weight property, it immediately changes value from "Normal: Inherited" to "Normal". This is really annoying. It means that the font-weight property from the external css-file is overridden.

The only way I've found to restore the "Normal: Inherited" value is to remove the property in the XML-source. Is there a better way to do this?

I have notized that on some properties, like the Font family, it works to delete the contents.

It would also be nice to have a way of resetting all the formatting properties of the selected item to their default values.

Deleting it in the XML Source is the only way to do that to my knowledge. I also noticed, like you said, that you can delete a few of them and get the "inherited" part back.
