If an inheritance break for the selected object (equipment or functional
location) occurs before the mass change, then the inheritance break is
repaired for the selected object, as well as for other objects under the
same superior object.
<ZH>Example:</>
This is an equipment hierarchy:
A
A-1
A-2
An inheritance break has occurred between A-1 and A-2. Equipment A-1 has
been selected for mass changes. When the mass changes function is
carried out for equipment A-1, all the objects under superior equipment

repaired. There are no individual messages about the repaired objects in
the message log. However, there is a general message in the log if
