How to configure all subtypes of a base class

See original GitHub issue

Should inheritance be observed in the ConfigurationContainer?

Say I have the following setup:

    public abstract class CommandListDTO 
    {
        ...
        public abstract List<Type> AllowableCommandTypes { get; }
    }
 
    public class CommandList1: CommandListDTO
    {        
        public override List<Type> AllowableCommandTypes { get; } = new List<Type>
        {
            typeof(Command1),
            typeof(Command2),
        };
    }

Is there a way to configure all subclasses to i.e. ignore AllowableCommandTypes?
I tried

.Type<CommandListDTO>().Member(x => x.AllowableCommandTypes).Ignore()

But it seems I have to type this out for all child classes to get it to work:

.Type<CommandList1>().Member(x => x.AllowableCommandTypes).Ignore()   
.Type<CommandList2>().Member(x => x.AllowableCommandTypes).Ignore()   
.Type<CommandList3>().Member(x => x.AllowableCommandTypes).Ignore()

@Mike-E-wins thanks for the quick response! Just tested your fix and it works for me.

Ahhh good point @gmkado that’s a different extension so it has its own set of rules/implementations. I am not sure about quick/easy but I will find out. 😁 Captured in #411. Please be sure to let me know of any others you find as well.
