This option determines if the form will inherit data from its parent form.
This can be useful if you have a set of fields that are duplicated across
multiple forms. See :doc:`/cookbook/form/inherit_data_option`.

parent form as is. This means that :doc:`Data Transformers </cookbook/form/data_transformers>`
