Is there any possibility to create classes in EZ that are derived from some other clases?
For example, I want to extend the class Folder and add some new attributes to it, but without changing the original class. Is there any posibility to make a new clas that inherits attributes from Folder class and adds new ones?

No, class inheritance is not supported.

Marko, in the Class setup area you can copy a class and use it to build a new class. It isn't quite inherited because any changes to the original class will not cascade to the new one, but it will cut down on the amount of time spent creating similar classes.

Is there going to be class inheritance support soon in EZ?
Or is there some workaround for this?
Thx.

The workaround is to do this in the object, not in the class. If you add a object relation list, or just an object relation you can link in other objects of any class to hold the info you need.

How do I use object relations exactly? What are they for? I searched the docs but it doesn't seem t be very well documented.

Hi!
Is there still no solution to that? I would also like to inherit Attributes from another class as I have a few classes that only differ in one or two fields and all the other fields are the same.
