You can only edit a property set at the hierarchical level for which this property set is defined. Take the level of object types, for example. At this level, you can only edit property sets defined for object types. If a property set is defined for an entire object class, you can only edit this property set at the level of the object class in question.

The same rule applies if you want to add new properties to a property set: You can only add new properties to a property set at the hierarchical level for which this property set is defined. If you want to add a new property to a subordinate level only, you must create a separate property set for the hierarchical level in question.

You cannot edit the properties of a property set directly in the property set. To change the characteristics of a property, you must change the original entry in the property library (see “Editing properties or property groups“). Bimplus automatically applies the change you make to all team property sets including the property changed.
