1On the Explore page, open the business entity, and click the Survivorship tab.
2Select a business entity, fields, or field groups, and click Edit All.
When you search for a field or a field group that belongs to another field group, the parent field group appears as a search result. You can expand the parent field group to view the field or field group that you search for.
3 If you select a business entity, select one of the following options:
- Override field configuration. Applies the configuration to all fields and field groups and overrides their existing configuration to inherit business entity configuration.
- Retain field configuration. Applies the configuration to fields and field groups that don't have separate configurations.

aSelect the parent field group.
bClear Survive as a block, and click Apply.
