    Description

      Since attributes can be used from objects ( stems ) above a currently displayed object ( stem, group, Attribute Def ) it would be helpful to be able to see additional attributes and values from "ancestor" objects.

       

      ( Still subject to current user access restrictions. )

       

      Maybe there could be a button add to that screen to "show inherited attributes". That would add a second table to the tab/UI ( under the current table) that would list the same columns in the existing table and add one more ( leading ) column that identifies the object that has the attribute for that row.

       

      Sort order in "ascending order" (closest to the current object at the top of the table and farthers from the object at the bottom of the table) from the current object would be very helpful too. ( So the user can see how the values might be "masked' relative to the selected object.
