Is there a way to inherit a record type from another record type? (Similar to how a class can inherit from another class in object oriented programming.) I have an asset record type with fields that are common to all assets but each type of asset needs its own extra fields, which are not relevant to other asset types. I also want to show a list of assets of all types on each customer record. I'm sure this is a common issue. I don't want to solve is with a single unwieldy asset record type if possible.

id say no
do something with forms if you want to reduce clutter

Thanks. My best idea so far is a parent child relationship between the base asset record type (parent) and the specific asset record type (child) and finding a way to keep it to one child per parent
The child would have fields sourced from the parent, to allow all details about the asset visible on a single record
