System properties are designed and configured by ELMA developers. For example, objectUIDs. These properties can be automatically added, if you check the Hierarchical and Import-Export Support boxes on the Advanced tab of theobject page. You cannot edit or delete these properties. In the list, the system properties have a green font.
User properties are designed and configured in ELMA Designer according to the company's requirements. You can createuser properties by default with preset parameters (only for user objects). You can edit or delete these properties. In the list, the user properties have a black font.
Properties, inherited from the base class are inherited from the parent (base) object. The parent object can be a system object or a user object. You cannot edit or delete these properties in the current object, but you can do it in the parent parent (base) object (if it is not a system property). In the list, these properties have a blue font.
If properties are inherited from other inherited properties (blue), then the properties inherited on the second level and higher will be displayed grey in the list.
Additionally, you can open the page (in the read-only mode) of a system property (fig. 3) or a property, inherited from a base type. You will not be able to edit a system property. The only exception are certain properties, for which a value calculation script was added on the Advanced tab (e.g. the Full Name property of the Contact system object).

Copying an object property
In ELMA, you can copy user properties of objects. You can copy properties to the current object and to other objects.
To copy a property, on the Properties tab of the required object page, select a property, open its context menu and click Copy. It will be copied to the clipboard. To paste this property, open the context menu on the Properties tab of the required object page (current or another) and click Paste.
