PADomainUtils - setOverrides\(Boolean overrides\)

reference brazil Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read r_PADU-setOverrides_boolean.md

Use this method before copying records to set the sys_override value of the new record to the original parent record.

Using this method enables you to automatically override records in a parent domain. By overriding the parent records, the parent records do not impact the child domain. If the source domain is not the parent of the target domain when copying records, setting the sys_override value will not have any impact on behavior. You can specify an override only when copying records, not when moving records.

Name	Type	Description
overrides	Boolean	Indicates that copied records in a child domain should override the source record in the parent domain. This value is true by default.

Type	Description
PADomainUtils	The object calling this function.
