Override Input Boxes

When overriding master data, values are overridden in a specific calculation. This override applies exclusively to the respective calculation. Overriding in the calculation applies to all identical project elements within a calculation.

In this instance, an update to the master data value is not taken into consideration. If you press F12 again, the override is reset and the master data value is used again.

Note

The calculation logic for the property of the project element no longer applies when manually overriding calculated values.
