Ignore

With the current way Fusion handles SpecialKeys, style sheets are applied after the properties you specifically define for an instance. What this means is style sheets will override any properties you set. This is usually not the behavior that is expected, however, there currently is no easy workaround to this problem. As a fix, albeit not the best, Toned introduces the Ignore key.

Ignoring Properties

Let's look at an example that showcases how to use the key.

New 'ScreenGui' {
  [Toned.StyleSheet] = [[
    .TextLabel {
      BackgroundColor3: #212121;
      TextColor3: #FFFFFF;
      Size: [0.8, 0, 0.1, 0];
      Position: [0.1, 0, 0.1, 0];
      Text: "Hello World!";
    }
  ]],

  [Children] = {
    New 'TextLabel' {
      Text = 'Goodbye World!',

      [Toned.Ignore] = {'Text'}
    }
  }
}

Notice how in our style sheet we actually set the Text property of TextLabels to be Hello World!. When we create a child text label you would expect that Goodbye World! would override the style sheet's Text property. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. To work around this we use the Ignore key and set it to a table of values. In our case we only want one value, Text. Now we'll actually see Goodbye World! like intended.

This is an unfortunate byproduct of Fusion's internal SpecialKey system not supporting a system like style sheets. While it can sometimes be tedious to set, the Ignore key is the best solution for this as of right now.
