Previously, fields that don't define enumerations did not inherit from fields that have an enumeration. But in the appdef design, the idea was that you can skip the enumeration because you don't want to specialize it. Hence, we should also such kind of inheritance by default.
As an example
/NXmpes/ENTRY/INSTRUMENT/ELECTRONANALYZER/COLLECTIONCOLUMN/projection-field
was not inheriting from/NXcollectioncolumn/projection-field
in the NexusTree implementation.
