By default pages inherit layout, chmod and some other settings from the parent.

This can be cumbersome when I want a certain page to have a specific layout, but child pages should not. Especially when a customer has to remember to change the page layout every time. Same thing goes for chmod and other attributes.

A new feature could be to add an inheritance tab, where all inherited options of any Contao item can be set. It can either be the same field repeated, but controlled by a checkbox "change childrens inherited **property**" Which will lead to extra fields, but no speed loss.

Another way to implement would be through the dca; add a setting 'add_inheritance_wizard'. Any item gets a new button "inheritance settings" where you can set all properties that where set to be in that menu. But that would require a second table and more db calls

Third way would be a combination (seperate button for inheritance instead of checkboxes).

We came up with it in this thread, that might explain it better: http://www.contao-community.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2453#p15584
