Basically, inherit fields in modules only update in the UI. The actual value doesn’t change.

Hey, @bradhave 👋 Thanks for your post.

Most of our community members can’t or won’t download videos to or files from external sources. Can you share a Loom or other embeddable video type? Or add details directly to your post body?

Thank you for the additional information.

Best,

Jaycee

Hey [@Jaycee\_Lewis](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/127074),  
My bad! Here is a loom

Also here is my module’s fields.json. I’ve tried in the styles and the content tab and both are not working.
