A funny story: parent script for stack

Once upon a time (yesterday:), in order to get the same script for
several list fields of a substack, I created a button as a behavior on
this substack.
Its script included a visual effect and a "find the selectedLine of
list fields" (in order to go to a corresponding .card).
Then, from the message box, I set the behavior of several list fields
to the long ID of this button.
I got a festival of visual effects!!!!
Clicking on any locked field triggered a visual effet, often 2 or 3 in
a row! and this even on the main stack of the substack!
More, I was getting the same when selecting any row in any data grids
of the main stack!!!
Well, first of all, I tested If knocking at the door of my office
triggered the same series of visual effect on my stack ;-o)) No!
bizarre!
At last, I noticed that, on my tRev window, the substack was flagged
as having a "Parent script"!
Ouups! I had inadvertently set the behavior of the substack to the
behavior button (I had not think yet this was possible).
So I set the behavior of stack "mySubstack" to empty.
"bam" (as Jerry says ;-); all was in order!
THE END
So, as stacks can inherit a behavior, why this property is not
included at the bottom of the basic properties pane of the Inspector,
as it is for fields and buttons?
Once more : thank you Jerry for your superb tRev tool :-)
Best regards from Grenoble
