The main logic for inheritance lives in the application code and can be found here:

It looks like whether a property gets inherited or not is determined by the inheritable and collection_inheritable settings in the metadata.yml file. All properties are set to inherit by default unless explicitly configured not to.

Properties only inherit when blank!

Currently, Works are the only objects that inherit. They can inherit values from both parent Works and Collections they are in. Collections do not inherit from parent Collections.
