# Templates Inheritance

Users can assign the default value of a **Custom Property** to the value of another **Custom Property** belonging to an upper entity in the Model Hierarchy. This way, if the user does not specify a different value for the **Custom Property**, it will automatically inherit the value from the upper entity.

Let's see an example:

- **Step 1:** Add the scan_rate **Custom Property** to the Inverter Template we previously created and assign its value to the scan rate property of the tags within the template.
- **Step 2:** Assign a default value to the scan_rate property equal to {scan_rate}. It will be displayed in a characteristic dark yellow color, as shown in the image below, meaning that it will take its value from an upper entity.

- **Step 3:** Click on the menu on the left-hand side of the **Templates** header, select **New Group->Group,** and enter a name for the template (in this example Cabin).
- **Step 4:** In the **Templates** panel select the Cabin Template, click on the **Custom properties** button, and from the drop-down menu select **New custom property**.
- **Step 5:** Enter scan_rate in the custom property **Name** and **Type** of **Number**. Click on **Save**.

- **Step 6:** Create an instance of the Cabin template, click on the menu on the left-hand side of the **Model** header, select **New Group-->Cabin,** enter a name for the instance (in this example Cabin1) and click **Save.** Enter a value of 1,000 in the **scan_rate custom property** field**.**
- **Step 7:** Click on the ellipsis button, on the right-hand side of the **Tag****s** label, select **New Group->Inverter** and enter a name (in this example, Inverter01).

- **Step 8:** Expand the inverter tags and check that they have inherited their **Scan rate** value from the cabin. It should be equal to 1,000.
