Hi,

In our appliication we have an ancestor window (which itself has two ancestors above) with 45 descendants. To apply a theme to a control (in this particular case a datawindow) on the ancestor we have to add all 45 descendants to our custom theme-xxx.json file to make the theme work for all descendants. Is this really the only way to accomplish this or is there a work-around for this? For example something like

"descendant1.dw_1;descendant2.dw_1;descendant3.dw_1":

{

}

(the example code doesn't work, but could make things a lot easier as you have to change colors on one place only).

Regards,

themes should be changed to work properly with inherited objects.  if you apply a theme exception to an object, then it should apply to all descendants unless they have an exception set.  just like how it works if you change any other property
