Inherit lvclass parent's default palette

Status: New

It is pretty nice that we can create custom palettes for lvclass libraries and set them as default; being able to right-click on a class wire and get an organized menu (i.e. method VIs arranged in sub-palette folders), rather than just an arbitrarily-ordered bunch of all the member VIs. 

 

However, it doesn't appear that the palettes inherit -- if I right-click on the class wire of a child of the class with the custom palette, I am presented with the child members and the parent members, with no palette customization.

 

Example

Parent Class (with custom palette)

Child class (which includes the parent members, but without the subfolder organization):

child_palette.png

 

Could the IDE support inheritance of the palettes, such that right-clicking on a child class wire showed me parent items in their organized default palette view?
