**As an** administrator configuring any work package type (sub-type or plain type)
**I want to** link a Begin of the insertiontype'sEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion type'sEnd of the deletion form configuration to a source type or make it independent
**so that** I can reuse a canonical form across many types, or own a form outright.

## Acceptance criteria

* For any type, I can set its form configuration to 

* **Linked** (choosing a source type) _or_

* **Independent**

* A sub-type defaults to Linked to its parent

* A Begin of the insertionlinkedEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion LinkedEnd of the deletion form Begin of the insertionshows just the attribute sections and attributes as read-only

* A linked formEnd of the insertion resolves to its source at runtime; when I change the Begin of the insertionsource'sEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion source'sEnd of the deletion form, every linked type reflects it immediately

* Custom fields associated with the source type are visible on a linked Begin of the insertiontype'sEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion type'sEnd of the deletion work packages, subject to the existing per-project custom field rules

* Begin of the insertionTo be clarified:End of the insertion When I switch a form to Independent, Begin of the insertion

1. End of the insertion the system copies the current Begin of the insertionsource'sEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion source'sEnd of the deletion configuration once and then severs the link Begin of the insertion

2. the form configuration is empty

3. the form configuration is the default set that we currently have

End of the insertion Begin of the deletion

End of the deletion * The system prevents me from creating a cyclic dependency between form sources Begin of the insertion

<br>End of the insertion Begin of the deletion

* Linking a form never changes the type&#39;s display name or colorEnd of the deletion


## Permissions and visibility considerations

* **To whom is this feature visible?** Admins and, later, project admins (via `:manage_subtypes`).

* **When is it not visible?**

* Feature flag turned off

* without management rights

* Enterprise-guarded actions

## Out of scope

* Any third mode such as &quot;extend&quot; or a per-field deactivation mask (only Linked or Independent for now). To diverge from a source, switch to Independent.

* Reordering or adding fields relative to a linked source.
