# CategoryInheritance

Set `CategoryInheritance` to `True` to allow categories to dynamically inherit training from their parent categories, as well as their own. In this case, CategoryQuery results can include documents that match the ancestor categories.

If you set `CategoryInheritance` to `True`, CategoryQuery uses the combined FieldText from the category and its ancestor categories, and the intersection between the database match restrictions for the category and its ancestors.

NOTE: You cannot set both `CategoryInheritance` and MultipleParentsAllowed to `True` at the same time.
