▪ Propagate Stakeholders. Allows child assets without stakeholders to inherit the stakeholders of the parent asset. You can disable this option after parent assets propagate to child assets to remove the propagated stakeholders from the child assets
▪ Append Stakeholders. Allows child assets that already have Assigned stakeholders to inherit stakeholders from a parent asset. You can disable this option to replace the inherited stakeholders with the stakeholders you assign.
