Are the “Map to CDE” and “Search Data Element” buttons intentionally restricted for all inherited attributes?
The SIW intentionally removes the Map to CDE button for inherited attributes, whenever that attribute in the parent class has been mapped to concepts. The reason the SIW does this is due to the constraint that an inherited attribute must use the exact same concept mapping as that attribute in the parent class. In the caDSR, this will mean that all CDEs created for class.attributes that use that inherited attribute must use the same Property. If you have mapped the attribute in the parent class to concepts, then you have specified the mapping not just of that attribute, but of all the inherited attributes as well. The CDE that will be used for that inherited attribute will be determined by the mapping of that attribute in the parent class, plus the mapping of the child class, plus the mapping of the Value Domain (either mapped directly in the inherited attribute, or inherited from the attribute in the parent class). If you want to make sure that you use a particular CDE for an inherited
