Description igor_nikiforov 2012-04-25 09:23:48 UTC 
Starting from 7.2 it is possible to select C/C++ standard for individual file, folder or project itself. For folder and file the special value <Inherited> is available. It means that the value of the parent's property will be used. But if this value is selected it is not clear what will be inherited, so user have to check all the parents folders up to project to understand that. 

So we need some way to indicate the what value will be inherited.
Comment 1 Vladimir Voskresensky 2012-05-15 12:56:13 UTC 
I agree. It should be displayed as:
Inherited (C++11)
