Inheritance beats formula?

I have a form that is created via @Compose command, and has the property “Form inherit values from selected document”. This is meant to pick up the value defined in the formula (inheriting from a field of that name), but in some fields I want to use the same field name, but over-ride the inheritance.

Example. Source document has a field called CDate, which contains the creation date/time. Target document has the same field name, but I have set its formula to @Created. However, it still picks up the value of CDate in source document. Is this correct behaviour?

Subject: is that a computed or editable field?

Not knowing if your field is editable (then you’re talking about a default formula) or computed (value gets computed time over time), I can only guess.I think your CDate is a hidden editable field. In this case, the field formula is a default formula. This applies only when there is no value for the field. In this case there is the inherited value! Changing your field to be a computed one should solve the issue.
