INIT_FROM_REFERER

When a referent is created, the INIT_FROM_REFERER clause controls whether some properties of the referent are populated with values from the referer.

You can specify one or more properties, the values of which are used to populate the referent. If multiple property pairs are specified, separate each pair with a comma.

INIT_FROM_REFERER { property_name:from_property_name,...}

The referer property from which the value is used to populate the specified referent property. If the name of the property is the same for both the referent and referer, you do not need to specify this parameter.

In the following example, “Contains defs” in the YYY definition is populated with new XXX definitions. When created, the new XXX definitions “size” and “background info” properties are populated with the values in the “size” and “supporting information” of the YYY definition.

RENAME DEFINITION "User 1" TO "My Definition 1"
RENAME DEFINITION "User 2" TO "My Definition 2"

LIST "Sizes"
{
VALUE "small"
VALUE "medium"
VALUE "large"
}
