Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

Overriding property

Reports properties that override the same properties defined earlier in the file.

For example:

[*.java] indent_size=4 [{*.java,*.js}] indent_size=2

The second section includes the same files as [*.java] but also sets indent_size to value 2. Thus the first declaration indent_size=4will be ignored.
