How to cancel inheritance on parts of a content fragment?

Is there a way to cancel the inheritance for some parts of a content fragment?

I have a use case where a part (e.g. title) needs to be kept in sync and has to be inherited in all live copies.

But another part (e.g. description) needs to be different in each language and should have cancelled inheritance.

Is there an OOTB way to do that inside AEM?

Hi @jlanssie-lnl,

You can use the below property wherever you need the inheritance and can remove it if you do not need it.

cq-msm-lockable="./name"

Hope this helps.

I should have specified, but will this allow an author to cancel inheritance on a particular input field inside the Touch UI?

I am looking for an OOTB way an author can sync a Live Copy Content Fragment from a Blueprint, change a particular input field, sync the Live Copy and have all the content synced from the Blueprint except for that particular input field that was authored.

For example, an author syncs the Live Copy Content Fragment in the above screenshot. All the content is updated from the Blueprint. The author adapts the Title field and syncs the Live copy again. The Live Copy Content Fragments overwrites all the input fields with content from the Blueprint, except for the Title field, where the author wrote some custom content.
