Usage notes:

  • If the Inherit deadline from parent job value is Yes, the Override existing deadline value is No, and the parent job has a deadline, the deadline is not inherited from the parent job.
  • Override existing deadline is a positional job property. For information about using positional job properties, refer to the Information Center.
