Ayon Env Vars and Tools Configuration Explained

Existing assets/shots do not inherit the new default project settings for Tools

It’s good to note that Configuring tools for a Project sets the default value for new assets but does not influence any existing assets/shots whatsoever.

As such, if you want to apply the tools to an existing project with existing assets you’ll still need to mass-update all existing assets to be configured with the new tools via Configuring tools for an Asset.

It’s also covered by your note:

  1. Projects can inherit tools settings from default project, however it happens while creation then save that as override. so, projects inherit while creation not after creation., that’s why step 2 is required

But I feel like it’s something that’s usually missed. I knew originally that was the case and often forgot about it when I started using OpenPype as a new user.
