  • Franchise level

    • If an option is created at Franchise, it is controlled here.

    • It will show at Model and Variant levels but will be greyed out and cannot be edited there.

  • Model level

    • If an option is created at Model, it is controlled here.

    • It will show at Variant level but will be greyed out and cannot be edited there.
