Select the child contract type and configure the parent-child field mapping to inherit the mapped fields from the parent contract when linking.

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

The following video walks you through the process of configuring parent-child field mapping to inherit mapped fields when linked.

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

You can configure a child contract type for a contract type and map the fields to automatically inherit values from the parent contract when linked. A contract type can have multiple child contract types and field mappings.
You can map one field at a time.

The Link and inherit fields button on the Link contract window is available only when you configure the parent-child mapping.
