object inheritance question

[Babineau, Mike]

When using templates in the case of variables which can have a
comma-delimited set of values, does variable assignment overwrite or
append?

 

Example:

define contact{

        use                             template.contact          

        contact_name                    template.contact.admin

        contactgroups                   contactgroup.admin

        register                        0

        }

 

define contact{

        use                             template.contact.admin

        contact_name                    jbob

        contactgroups                   contactgroup.admin.sa

        alias                           Jim Bob

        }

 

 

Will Jim Bob be a member of a) only contactgroup.admin.sa; or b) both
contactgroup.admin and contactgroup.admin.sa?

 

If, as I suspect, a) is correct and he will only be a member of the last
assigned group, is there a way to append to an inherited variable's
value and achieve case b)?

 

Thanks,
