Begin of the insertion## ScopeEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion **Acceptance criteria**End of the deletion

Begin of the insertionThe reuse aspect (`settings_source_id`, resolved by `effective_settings_type`) covers:

End of the insertion * Begin of the insertionPDF export template configuration (`pdf_export_templates_config`),

* subject configuration and identifier patterns (`patterns`).End of the insertion Begin of the deletion <br>End of the deletion


Begin of the insertionIt does **not** cover the core type settings, which are inherited from the parent on a sub-type and not editable.End of the insertion Begin of the deletion **Technical notes**End of the deletion

Begin of the insertion## Acceptance criteria

End of the insertion * Begin of the insertionFor any type, I can set its PDF and subject configuration to **Linked** (choosing a source type) or **Independent**. A sub-type defaults to Linked to its parent. _(F3-C0)_

* A Linked type&#39;s PDF and subject configuration resolve to the source at runtime; when I change the source, every linked type reflects it immediately. _(F3-C1)_

* When I switch this configuration to Independent, the system copies the current source&#39;s PDF and subject configuration once and then severs the link. _(F3-C2)_

* The system prevents me from creating a cyclic dependency between these sources. _(F0-C2)_

* The core type settings (name, color, `is_milestone`, `is_in_roadmap`, `is_default`) are never part of this aspect; on a sub-type they are inherited from the parent and read-only. _(F0-C3)_End of the insertion Begin of the deletion <br>End of the deletion
